I took some time off work this week for the holidays and the turning bug bit me. Turned a few oil candle holders and a holder for a tea light.
From left to right: black mesquite (from Argentina according to Woodcraft's website), olivewood (picked up for a song during the local Woodcraft's 12 days of Christmas sale
), a quilted maple/walnut sandwich with a bois de rose collar, and another olivewood. The olivewood tealight holder was supposed to be the twin of the olivewood oil candle holder (I oriented the grain opposite on purpose) but I dropped it and broke the neck where it was thin so reshaped into a tea light holder.
These are my first foray into something other than spindles. Any comments and critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
