A ring of plywood fins around an LED tealight. The fins stand in the notches of two discs - one on the table, one as the shelf the tealight sits on - and their height rises and falls around the ring, so the holder looks different from every side. No glue: two small crossed pieces hold the discs apart and everything slots together.
Made for LED tealights only. They stay cool, so the wood is fine right next to them.

Cutting and assembly
You get a ZIP with a DXF and an SVG. Inner cuts are blue, outlines red, and every fin carries its number in green to score, not cut - fin 1 is the tallest, the rest go round in order. Sizes are net: set the kerf in your laser software. Push the two crossed pieces into the base, put the shelf on top, then slide the fins into the notches one by one.
