I am building a candle holder and am curious what finish to use that is flame resistant. The wood won't be in direct contact with the candle, but I don't want to take any chances.

I guess the better question is there any wood finishes that are flammable, and should be avoided? I just don't want to put a finish on it that will easily catch on fire.


Why not apply one of the finishes you are considering to a test piece,
and see how easy it is to catch it on fire? Combining that with common
sense should give you a solution, as long as you are not selling them.
