Last week was stressful at my day job and this week looks like its going to be twice as bad, so being the good LJ I headed out to the shop. I have been trying to think of what I can do with some Walnut I picked up on TN the last time I was out there. I was given some Walnut and Cherry from my brother and our friend Pyromedic (Bubba). A candle holder has been bouncing around in my head for a few days and when I cleaned up a few days. After I ran a few board from the planer, I just started cutting an this is what I came up with. It only has one coat of Oil/Poly blend.
Here are a few extra pictures of it lit.

Thanks all.
Karson, I think I will. There are a couple of small things I’ll probably pick up. Nothing big this year, I don’t have any more room. I would have to clean before I get anything else in :-)

Looks great Greg. I am glad to finally see a finished product from that wood mine is still in the finisning stage. Just make sure to double check the moisture in the boards I have had some panels cup on me from the wood still being to moist on glue up. Looks like I will be purchasing a meter before to long.
