You'd have to join that queue too!!

 

[Jonzjob]

Well! I reckon that I've got a winner here then. So I will proceed to the front of the que, pass Go and collect my 200€ on the way 8) 8) 8) 8)

Edit : - Thinking about it, I'm not sure if it's a wump-a wood or my self portrait :-k :-k

Look interesting though - be good to see what you do with it.

[skeetoids]

My candlestick is ready! :mrgreen:

 

[Blister]

[Wood spoiler]

My candlestick is ready! :mrgreen:

So is my stick ....

Ready to be made - It just needs shaping and , and, and, and ....

 

[Jonzjob]

Well, mine's ready too, complete wiv a 'ole to put the candel in... 8) 8) 8) Not telling where the 'ole is though.

 

[gus3049]

I'm only on number 4 of the 23 designs I did just in case......

is there a special prize for numbers / volume?

John - the specs don't say anything about a hole. I just re-read the rules and it ain't there. Are you trying to impress the judge with extras?

 

[Jonzjob]

Not really trying to impress anyone wiv me 'ole Gordon. Just somewhere to stick me candel otherwise me candel stick doesn't and it falls orf! :shock:

 

[Hudson Carpentry]

I have been to get some nicer wood. Couldn't get what i wanted due to stock availability. Struggling for inspiration on this one so may end up doing 3 or 4 and see which idea i like best.

[Hudson Carpentry]

Aye I googled the other day with no joy. My taste in candlesticks are not really turnable more carving.

However thank you, I did click your link and gathered yet another idea. 4-5 i may need to do now hehe

 

[Wood spoiler]

Tried letting the dogs play with my "stick", but instead of getting "interest" like john's - I ended up with matchsticks!

At least I'll be able to light my candle

 

[Pvt_Ryan]

This months "woodturning" mag has a good article on candlestick holders

 

[myturn]

I hate my skew gouge!

It's got a mind of its own and never does what I tell it.
