For the last two years, I have been participating in a program called Contemplative Leaders in Action (CLA), which is coming to an end next month.  The 15 participants have gone through a lot together and we have become very close.  As a farewell, I made these tea-light holders.  Each person gets to take home their "piece of the circle" to keep the group in their thoughts.

I used Southern Yellow pine sandwiched between thinner red oak slices.  One coat of boiled linseed oil smoothed the feel but kept the rustic look.
