So I'm going to make one of these, its basically just a log hollowed out and cut into slices with an led light in the middle. How do I make this so its not going to catch on fire when used? What sort of wood and led should I use to ensure its safe?

use a bulb that doesn't get super hot? if you can put your hand on the bulb without burning yourself, you shouldn't have to do anything with the wood. just make sure you don't have bare wires hanging out and you are fine.

If you are using LED's then you should be okay, just make sure to insulate all your connections well so there won't be any shorts that can produce sparks and you should be golden.
I like the idea, do you have any links to how these are produced?

just fyi, they never look as good as the photographs; those shots were taken very carefully

Untrue, if you have a dark sitting room and place these near a wall they look really cool.

It looks like it would be quite effective if mirror-finish epoxy were applied to the cut sides of each layer.
