It is hard to say what may or may not ooouuzzz out and stain the finish or dissolve the finish. What if you make the racks and sell her square wooden candle bases to be sold with the candles? That would eliminate the worry of the candle staining the rack.
Probably not. But, if you're going to worry about it, wrap the candle bases in aluminum foil.
James... I'd be more worried about a candle burning down too far, myself.

Or, try it with a piece of scrap wood first. Or, use those glass candle holders. Or, those metal candle holder.
JOAT Just pretend I'm not here. That's what I'm doing.
it'l seal against scented wax, but not against charring from the flame.
Candle holders should be metal or glass, not wood. Otherwise a candle chars the holder when it burns out. You'd have to have an unlucky combination of circumstances to make this a fire hazard, but it looks bad.
I use 22mm copper pipe end caps as candle holders.
Nope, the atmosphere gets there first. They only get warmed up in the bottom centimetre of the candle and most people will change it before then. It's just a safety measure for people who leave them burning.
Hey, it's a candle holder. The ones I make are faked gothic tat anyway (arched mirror frames). It's not oxidation, it's patina.
