Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes Jeff, it holds detail well. Better than a certain unnamed acacia...:wink::D
Given that an old finial experiment was there doing nothing, I made a small snuffer to go with the holder...:D

and a couple of both finished - I will bring to GJ's on 13th for show & tell.
Sorry about the photos they are from my Mobile phone.
How are the other entries going
Cheers
Very good David...any thoughts for some kind of handle??
None what so ever -
But now you mention it. ?????:?:?
Apparently i need to get brass inserts (so i'm told) so maybe a little brass "finger loop" would look alright.
I have allowed room for a thin brass insert.
Thanks for your comments Ed - you having a go at this as well?
Cheers
Well Dave, most things take me a while to do or mention...or so Ann tells me so :roll:
I had the best of intentions ( ...and you know the road to hell is paved with them) to do something for this, but a couple of health hiccups have kinda' kept me sidelined for a while :doh: ...and now SWMBO has me doing some flatwork for Xmas presents along with miscellaneous honey-do list work, so I'll try to do something after the New Year - if that's permissible.:D
I have been flat out since I picked up my candle and wood cube on Sunday. I don't think I can get around to this job till the new year. Sorry!
Calm, I was trying to explain to my daughter how you made your candle holder - Now I see I can show her your pictures!
Well done, Calm, congratulations. Now you can rightfully brag that you got two entries in the top five. :D
Next challenge: use multi-axis turning to make your last design in one piece. Do you accept? :)
Well, now that the 12th has come and gone, my progress has been exactly nought :no:
Since October I have made a single pen :~. Just don't get time in the shed anymore... Still, on the bright side, from the new year I move onto a less demanding client, so maybe, just maybe I'll sneak something in for next christmas :2tsup:
The work that has been displayed so far has been great. Wish I did my bit...
Cheers,
Dave
