I was intrigued by Dennis Kranz's tealight thread particularly about using old 2x4 scrap. Looked real nice for trash wood. I had done some other tealights last year out of maple--much easier (pic attached). I am used to turning hardwood and was a little taken aback at how easily fir crumbles when turning the partial end grain. I got over it and stuck to using just a skew and scraper.
Since I had a few pieces left over, I decided to try some lids using the same 2x4 scrap. Came out okay and were quick an easy to do. I will probably try some oak wood next time though.
The bottles are used Bush's Chili bottles. Mason and Ball should have similar ones.
