    That is a bonus Smife,well done,they look great!, hope there was thousands in prize money you got for it.
    Wondering what stops the candle burning down through the candle stick once the wax part has burnt? Then through the table.....house etc?

    Nice work on the spirals.

    Just as a btw, a few years back there was a specific consumer alert and ban on combustible candle holders, and a test for combustability. Basically the test is for the ability of the material the candle holders are made from "to ingite and support flame" for a specified time -I think it was five seconds. The alert was aimed more at the resin candle holders. I contacted the Office of Fair Trading & ACCC Product Safety Australia and received a reply that at best was puzzling - timber wasn't considered combustible enough - however I would not supply candle holder without a candle cup. Search "combustible candle holder."

    Hi moby, I just get a bit tired of all political correctness
    sometimes ,,,, If I light a candle and it falls over then I am
    to blame If the house burns down.........no one else!
    Everyone tries to blame someone else for there mistakes
    It seems these days,,,,,,, people need to take responsibility
    for there own actions I think, .......rant over for now!
    Thanks for your comments
    Cheers smiife
