Woodturning a Modern tea light candle holder
Just a little modern twist on a tea light candle holder, made from a spalted maple tree branch from my backyard.
“Many of the woods I use are from trees that have been cut down due to disease or to make way for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

Sweet. Amazon sells small tea lights that flicker. Actually look like a real candle burning.

I have some of those too! They are actually bigger in diameter than the actual candles though, so you have to decide which one you're going to use before hand.
Great job Heather. Hope you can share it with us Wednesday.

Thanks Michael 😊
What a beautiful design from such simple components ... just hope you don't trip while walking by it 😁 Your finish is what I believe is called friction polish, it requires that you put a reasonable amount of pressure onto the piece as it's spinning to generate heat ... it's the heat which creates the shine 👍

Thanks Barry! As for the friction polish, I added a bit more blo and tried it on another piece, and it worked perfectly! Thanks for helping!
Really nice Heather, one thing " even though the candle is in metal there should be another metal holder ( Just in case ) "

You are definitely correct on that! Also, lit candles should never be left unattended
That came out fantastic. Pretty wood and very interesting project. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much Paul ❤️ I've only been turning for 3 years, so I still have lots to learn. Here's to hoping I can keep you entertained!😊 Heather
I wonder if you forgot to turn on the light of the box when you did the glamour shot at the end. Picture seemed a little dark 😊

Yep...I did...it's not a proper light box either. It's just a box with white paper on the inside. Someday I'll be able to afford a proper one...or remember to use the flash on my camera 😬
Lovely piece could you put up the finished dimensions please.

Thanks! And the piece is 9" tall, and each "cone" is 2.5" at the wide end. Hope this helps
Very well done Heather !! Looks like bone a bit - notice how it fades to whitish towards the antler tip ? Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike p.s. do you like the MinWax ? It's my goto topcoat.

Thanks Mike! I don't really "see" the bone resemblance...but you do you! Lol I have been using the minwax antique oil for quite a few years on my pyrography and just never tried it on my turnings! This is the first time trying, and I will definitely keep using it
