These candle sticks are made from Sapele and stand approximately(forgot to measure before packing these) 12 1/2" tall and 2 3/4" at the widest. Tools used are spindle roughing gouge, spindle gouges, skew chisel, parting tool and carving chisels. Finish is sander sealer and canuba wax polished on a three wheel system.
This turning involved involuted turning as well as a little carving to get the shape at the top of the heart shape. The base is turned separate from the main stem

Bottom view (this is very deceptive picture as the bases are only 1/16" difference in diameter even I had to check twice)

Hi Dalboy, I think you have done an excellent job of these. The profile is very pleasant, well proportioned and has a lovely flowing form. :2tsup:
