Candlestick

[woodbutcher453]

It's made of oak, it's full of curves and it's a bit short of right angles... definitely one of mine then!

It uses the usual template trim to get the curves. The tall piece has a scarf joint in it, otherwise the chunk it would need to come from would be huge

The hub at the top is turned and fixed in place with screws and pellets. The actual candle holder is a piece of old steam pipe, and the wax collector is hand spun pewter (done by some associates in Sheffield, fascinating process, awesome to watch)

I'd say a more fitting screen name would be woodmagician...

First the cross and now this. WOW! is really all i can say.

It looks fantastic. Sadly, I can't increase the pic size to get a look at the detail, but looks a terrific job.

Thank you, but you are showering me with praise that I do not deserve. I can also make firewood just as good as the next man..!

Well that won't stop me consulting you when I do the backs of my oak dining chairs.. (Another 'round-tuit'! ) :wink:

The whole job just looks elegant WB.

Nice work indeed.
