These are what we call our Home Decor option. That does that mean?. It means that these are not guaranteed to be candle ready. Now that does not mean that they may not. We cannot guarantee that they will be candle ready. Keep that in mind when you buy. We do have the candle ready bowls listed as well separately. Pinholes and knots are common with these home decor bowls. NOTE: Please understand that these bowls are natural handmade products and will never be perfect. That is what makes them rustic and beautiful. Tone, smoothness, shape etc, all rustic and never machine-made. These are great for decorating. Keep in mind that these are handmade, rustic, one of a kind and size will vary slightly. These wood hearts measure about 6x7W x 1.5-2D inches. NOTE: Please und Mini Carved Hearts- 4 Color Choices-White, Antiqued White, Black and Waxed 6x7 wide x 1.5-2 Deep
