SWMBO loves candles and one thing I haven't done is to make a pair of candle stands. As I said I wanted to let the chisels talk and as I worked I could see the grain showing through. I am happy with the shape but think I need to work on how to duplicate a piece. The stands are 340mm high. The stands are not leaning. Photographer was obviously leaning.
For a candlestick stability is desirable, I would have a larger foot for more stability, it is still possible.
(Sigh....) I wish my tools would talk to me like that sometimes!
But I agree with Ad de Crom about stability. However your design looks to be able to accept a larger base without upseting the balance.
I agree with the base bit for sure. Allso would like to see the candle hole polished allso. Just shows out to much to my taste.
i would like them with a wider base too, not for stability (although that is important) but i just like that slope you get on the wide bases.
I never new they existed. Thanks for the tip.
Caps used to plug copper tubing can also be used.
You will find them in the standard sizes in the plumbing dept. @ most hardware stores.
