Hello,
My sister-in-law would like some large candle holders. I'm wondering if anyone has advice or thoughts on where I could find wood for these, or if they should be turned from different pieces and then glued together, i.e. the base and top turned separately from the "stick."
The largest they want is 8"x16". The others will be smaller and I think I can find wood for those. But for the 8" diameter one, would my best bet be to find a dried log without too much checking? Would I have to drill out the pith and fill it with a dowel or something?
Here's the style she's thinking, except probably fatter.
Thanks,
Eric
