Hi folks,
For one reason or another I've been away from serious turning for about 12 months so last weekend I decided to turn a few simple T light holders out of a few smallish blanks I had 'in stock'. Materials used are Yew, Elm, Ash, Sycamore and one which I think is spalted pear.
I've also include a close up of the grain pattern on the Yew as I thought it looked quite interesting. Pity I have no more of this particular piece left.
All finished with sealer and friction polish or sealer and woodwax 22. I purposely left the glass holders protruding so I could get maximum number of holders out of the blanks I had available.
Comment welcome.
