Such design will be a great table centerpiece, for example and the best choice for Scandinavian or eco-style interior designs. If you haven’t got the tools to make a hole for the candle, you can simply place it on top of the log cut. The disadvantage of such design is that it looks unstable, especially if you use long candles.
