Back from the dreaded work - i'm so over it - anyway the answer to all those questions is YES - i think - it can look like TL "finial box" if you like - Eliza as materials are free grab the grasshoipper and put the candle where the light dont shine for it - should be interesting even if you cant give it away.
WIP yep we need WIP to give some of the slower ones ideas (that's me) Skew yours belongs in the (A) basic section
Here are a couple of photos for ideas - blatantly pinched from previous forum threads.

i will put a thread in the metalwork section as well should make it interesting to get their ideas.
Cheers now get out in the shed and start work it isn't really that hot
Oorooregards

Arrrgh OK - here's the rest!
Thought I'd better dress it up a little....
1. Mounted on the pin jaws to turn a spigot on the bum end.
2. Remounted by the spigot. Roughing down the top with the centre up for security - lot of cracks in this stuff.
3. Top end shaped ready for sanding and finishing.
4. Drop of oil to settle the dust.
5. Remounted on the pin jaws again to reshape and finish the foot.
6&7. Finished - so rustic and rural that there is even some 'signature' bird poop on one part

I'm fine T - bummed that I can't turn. I'll forget everything!
That's a lovely Aussie rustic candle holder!
The little silky oak one on the blue background, I'm pretty sure it's mine - that might have to be my "challenge"
Looking forward to joining you on more challenges next year

Vern you beat me to the WIP - i have been attempting something for a few days. i have not done one of these glue up with paper turn break apart and reglue so all in the dark here. Dont even know if this will be the finished product most likely to be fancy firewood and go back to Skews idea.
What else but Blackwood - first a peice about 75mm square thicknessed to get good sides for glue up

Bloody clamps again you never seem to have enough of the right size and they get in the road of each other. Just when you think you have it right you see there is another angle not clamped. Used Titebond 2 and left overnight to dry
Attachment 122326 Attachment 122327
Of course there had to be a UFO in the job both bits headed for the door (away from me)
Attachment 122328 Attachment 122329
So finished this bit - I decided spray on Poly the ideal finish for something that will probably not work but if it does it needs a finish.
Being a student of the ERN REEDERS school of sanding (and with the same love/desire to do it) i was not all that fussy about what will be the inside. (Not saying Ern doesnt do a good job just that IMHO sanding is THE PITS) I got my 1 metre rolls of Hermes paper unrolled and held onto a piece of dowel then at about 500 i just used the dowel to move the paper where i wanted. Started at 150 - 240 - 320 - 400 but there are plenty of tool marks still in. sprayed on the poly with the STUBBY running very slow (about 50 - 100 (did i tell you how good STUBBY'S are with there EVS) I luv my STUBBY ) If i did another i suppose waste blocks would be a better idea although the recess is only about 20mm wide.
Attachment 122330
So later i will break the glue on the paper and reglue the other way round - Fingers crossed the bits line up. might use Araldite for this one instead of aTitebond 3regards

caution
since the timber medium is flamable , the use of a brass ( or nonfamable ) insert is a must , especaly when given to an old foks home ,lets just say there more than likely to be forgetfull ,
lets not have a heap of "old fokes home" fires traced back to this site
was bored today , logged on , wow , im in , going out to the shed right nowhow come a 10mm peg dont fit in a 10mm hole

This is my entry into the challenge.
Timber used is a piece of Yellow Box (scrounged from a mates paddock). It is a branch piece that has Mistle-toe?? (maybe) on/in it.
Finished with a coat of white shellac and then two coats of danish oil. Insert is a Tea-Light Candle.I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it
