rosewood spiral candlesticks WIP

[smiife]

hi guys ,
i made these candle sticks over a 3 day period,
so thought i would take some photos as i progressed,
and also got me thinking how would you cost these
if you where to sell them????? i think i have put about
16 hrs into them,mind you i'am a bit slow when it comes to turning
and they are for a friends 85th birthday present,

started with a nice chunk of rosewood
266827

turned down to a billet
266828

marked out a grid pattern to follow

266829

started with a forstner bit to rough out the
spirals

266830266831

then sand and sand and sand,i started with the dremel
but found the power file a quicker option

266832

finished with 400grit,then danish oil,EEE and glow

Stunning, what a present to give.

What are they worth? Any price you want to put on them, If someone think's it too much, they don't appreciate the wood or work involved.

Fantastic.
