Candle Center Piece

It looks nice and sturdy. I like the thick stock used, very substantial looking. Sounds like mother in law needs a new cook book! Maybe you can get her Emeril’s DVD’s for Christmas. Or, how about using it as a stand for condiments? They can be filled with hot sauce, fresh herbs, spiced oils, etc. (to add to not so tasty menu). Nicely done.

Tom, this is a nice project that you posted. I like your version with the walnut inlay. To tell the truth I really could not understand the appeal of splitting the centerpiece. It does give it a point of interest but I think that your interpretation adds more visual interest to the piece.

Thanks for the post.

Tom,
Looks great. I always like the fact that we learn from past projects. I’m sure it isn’t too hard for your mother in-law to look at.

Hi Tom;

Very nice design. I like the uniqueness of it.

Your workmanship is very good. The minor problem with the hole is probably something only you will notice.

I like this very much, it is heavy, but unique and gentle in a way. The colors make a statement.

Great end result Tom. You never know, candles may become very important in the rough ride ahead.

fantastic design. Love it.. and the oval holes well, I guess they leave room for match sticks?
