Hi Toby, glad you like it. Lots of sanding and patience :lol:
I read an article by Rick Christopherson on candle sticks, easy to follow how to, if a google search doesnt turn it up PM me with your email and I will send you what I have on it

Chris, as the winner of the Feb Challenge with my double hollow candy twists and making several pair of single twist candle sticks I know exactly what has gone into your lamp and it is lovely and very elegant!

Well done mate ccasion5: ccasion5:
