November 19, 201213 yr comment_21134 Hi all, Â Since I got it posted to my FB page already, I'll go ahead and post it here too. Tea-light candles seem to be what a lot of people are using these days, and a FB friend of mine had made one of these several months back out of a different wood, so I decided to try my hand at it. While my version is seeming to be taller than it is wide, it still has a base on it wide enough that it shouldn't tip over if bumped into. It's 3 5/8 wide at the top about 4 1/8" at the bottom & about 2 1/4" tall. I have yet to finish the side and bottom yet, and by the picture it looks like I still have a bit of end grain issue going on there so I'll work on that and repost to this thread when done. I also recently was asked if I could make a few handles, and so I decided to make a mockup of sorts to make sure. Come to find out that it's a lot more simple than I thought it would be. It's made from Cherry and is not completely finished, I would show a updated picture but my helper is sitting on my picture area looking out the window at the birds of all things, I wonder why? Anyway, enjoy your week, or at least get through it if you can't enjoy it and we'll catch ya all later..

It went back on the lathe to finish sides and bottom but now I have to finish paying projects before this one Phil Chestnut said: Like it.
