Why You'll Love it

Raccoon Woodland Wildlife Candle Holder

She got into your decor, and honestly? You're not even mad. The Raccoon Woodland Candle Holder is the piece with the most personality on your shelf, and she knows it. This freestanding laser-cut raccoon features intricate detail work that captures all the cheeky, clever energy of the forest's favorite little troublemaker.

Dusty Rose, my CO₂ laser, cuts every detail right here in Arizona from premium maple, walnut, and cherry plywood. No stains, no dyes — just natural wood tones sealed with a light clear coat. Natural grain variation means no two raccoons are alike (but they're all equally suspicious).

The 2-layer design pairs maple and cherry for a clean, warm look. The 3-layer adds walnut depth that makes those little hands and that masked face really come alive. Personalization is available if you want a name, a date, or a short message worked into the piece — a raccoon with your name on it is chaotic and charming and absolutely on brand. Candle not included.

Behind the Build

Raccoon Woodland Wildlife Candle Holder, Laser-Cut in Arizona

Every Woodland Wildlife Candle Holder starts as flat sheets of premium plywood and comes out the other side as something you actually want to display. That process happens on Dusty Rose, our CO2 laser, right here in our Arizona studio.

The front layer is premium maple plywood — real wood veneer on top and bottom with a solid basswood core. It cuts clean, stays flat, and holds every whisker, stripe, and tiny hand detail the raccoon has to offer. The back layer is cherry plywood, which adds warm contrast even on the two-layer version. Add the three-layer option and a walnut middle drops in between — that dark walnut is what gives the masked face and the ringed tail their real depth and dimension.

The candle platform on top is engraved with the same pine cone and botanical pattern as the base, so the whole piece reads as one cohesive design. Your choice of exposed tab or hidden tab changes the look of that platform from the side — exposed shows the structural tab as a design detail, hidden keeps it completely flush.

The raccoon is one of sixteen woodland animals in this collection and honestly one of the most detailed cuts in the line. She's sitting up, paws forward, looking like she absolutely knows something you don't. The detail work on the mask, the fur texture, and that striped tail is tight and holds up at close range. By candlelight she has a warm glow that somehow makes her look even more suspicious. In the best way.

Treat Someone

This one is for people who don't want what everyone else has. It works for:

Nature lovers and wildlife fans who actually decorate with what they love. Cabin and lodge owners who want something that fits the aesthetic without looking like it came from a gift shop. Anyone who has badger energy — and they will absolutely know who they are. Dads, brothers, and the guys on your list who are impossible to shop for.

It also works as a housewarming gift with real personality, a birthday gift for someone who appreciates handmade over mass-produced, and a holiday gift for the nature lover who already has everything.

Personalize it with a name, a date, or a short message and it stops being just a candle holder and starts being the thing people ask about when they visit.

Occasions: Birthday, housewarming, Mother's Day, Christmas, holiday gifting, just because, raccoon lovers

A Few Things to Know

Display: Indoors only
Avoid: Moisture, humidity, extreme heat, and prolonged direct sunlight
Cleaning: Dust with a soft dry cloth — no sprays, no damp cloths
Candle: LED candles are recommended. If using a real candle, that is your call — use common sense and never leave it unattended.
Wood variation: Natural grain, tone, and slight color differences between pieces are normal. Real wood does that. It is character, not a defect. Wood coloring may also appear slightly different depending on your screen settings and lighting — what you see on your phone may look a little different than in person.

Need to cancel or fix a personalization error? Reach out within 12 hours of ordering and I'll do my best to catch it — as long as production hasn't already started. After that, all sales are final — so double-check your personalization text before you submit. If I make a mistake on my end, I will absolutely fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special candle for this holder? ＋

The platform opening is approximately 3 inches in diameter. A standard pillar candle or 3-inch LED candle fits perfectly. We recommend an LED candle — it is safer around wood, lasts longer, and gives a beautiful warm glow through the layered design. Candle is not included with the holder.

Is the wood stained or painted? ＋

Neither. The candle holders are made from natural maple, walnut, and cherry plywood that arrives pre-finished with a clear coat applied by the supplier. No stains, no dyes, no paint — just the natural wood tones sealed and protected. What you see is the real color of the wood, which is part of what makes each piece unique.

Will my Candle Holder look exactly like the one in the photos? ＋

Close — but not identical, and that is actually a good thing. These are made from real wood, and every piece of plywood has its own grain pattern, tone, and natural character. Your piece will have the same design, the same quality, and the same care that went into the one in the photos — it just might have a slightly different grain story. Wood coloring may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings and lighting.

What is your cancellation and return policy? ＋

After that window, all personalized and made-to-order sales are final. If I make a mistake on my end, I will make it right — full stop.

How long does it take to ship my wood product? ＋

Production time is 5 to 10 business days after then cancellation period has passed . Shipping time is additional.
