Osage Orange (Australian)

[Allan at Wallan]

One of my favourite woods is Osage Orange. (Australian).

Here is my first attempt at a candle holder which
I am reliably informed is a little large and could with
refinements in design. But ... it was my first
attempt some months ago and the wood was still
green. A subsequent crack can be seen if you
look at it closely.

But I don't have the heart to throw it in the fire nor
patch it up with glue and sawdust. Instead I will
keep it as a reminder of my "early beginnings".

Thanks DJ but I was already working on it.
Must be losing my touch - tried three times to include
the photo. Now realise where I went wrong.:doh:

Good one allan , was that a branch if so you might want to bore a hole right through it to stop the cracking problem .:2tsup:
