The choice of candle dish size and shape is determined by the complexity and appearance of the carving patterns that will be cut by chip carving knives. A detailed and complex carving pattern would not look good on a small candle dish, and would be difficult to do with chip carving knives. A small candle dish would be best with a simpler carving pattern.

Candle plates are made from Basswood, a preferred wood by most carving plates carvers. It typically has a clear grain without dark and light growth rings. Candle dishes made from Basswood have an easy to cut but firm wood texture.

The carving patterns you lay out on your candle dishes and cut with your chip carving knives will become a piece of art, and possibly a family heirloom.

 Many carvers take portions of different carving patterns to put on their candle dishes that they will cut with chip carving knives, and combine them into unique carving patterns of their own to apply on their candle dishes.
