Challenge Requirements: Pair of Candleholders
This month’s rules are:-
1. The Challenge is open to anyone and everyone.
2. Entries must be new and made specifically for the Challenge.
3. Entries must be made of wood which must be turned on a lathe using woodturning tools.
4. The candleholders can be any size or shape. i.e, they can be candlesticks / candleabras or tealight holders, the important point being that they are a ‘matched pair’
5. Segmented turning, piercing, carving, colouring, pyrography and texturing are allowed for this challenge. However, the judge must be able to see your turning skills!
Please post three images of your work together with details of the wood used, the tools and methods used to make it and any key dimensions. A special ‘Entries’ thread will be started for this at the appropriate time.
Images needed:-

1 showing a view of the bases of the candleholders
A fourth picture may be added (but is not compulsory) if needed to show any other interesting details of your entry.
