How to drill holes in driftwood for making decorative boats and candle holders.
To drill holes into driftwood is easy. All you need is a power drill with different drill bits.
To make a Driftwood Sail Boat, you drill a hole that fits the mast piece into the center of the base log. Then add glue and stick in the mast.
Now it's drilling time for me, turning a flat driftwood piece into a tea light candle holder with a Forstner drill bit.
The Forstner bit, which comes in a variety of sizes, is perfect for making Driftwood Votive & Tealight Candle Holders. You can drill larger flat holes with this bit.
Clamp your driftwood to the table to hold it in place, otherwise it might spin around, and wear safety glass.
Since the edge of the hole didn't turn out as clean as I had hoped (the driftwood was on the soft side), I simply hot glued rope around the holders to cover it up.
