Something else a little different!
Interested to get your opinions on this little indulgence. Showed a friend and they had some very 'interesting' views on it so I'm curious to know what you all think of it
. Started out with a Rose Mahogany blank from Dad's gear that already had a screw-chuck hole through the centre which limited it's uses. Wanted to play with some multi axis stuff so it just sort of evolved from there. Odd that as a turner, the last time we had a blackout, I discovered I didn't have a single candle holder - every time I make one somebody oohs and aahs a bit and out the door it goes - gonna keep this one I think 
Legs are Gidgee and the finish on the Rose mahogany is also an experiment - 3 coats of wipe-on poly to see if it would dry better on the mahogany than DO does.

That's a keeper, for sure! Like Stirlo, I thought of an axe head, first off. I like the way you fair-curved the 'blades'... hard to do and make it good on a compound curve like that. Did a bang-up job on the legs, also. Mighty fine work, Vern.
