Shaker candle stand - Hancock Shaker

I want to see more pictures of this beauty ! It is one of a kind and the grain / figure is fantastic in my opinion. I seek out highly figured woods for my projects because anybody can make a “Plain Jane” everyday looking type of project.

Thanks – I’ll have to take some more pics.
Working with spalted wood is interesting – you never quite know what it’s going to do. If I’d thought about it beforehand, I’d have saturated the entire top with water-thin cyanoacrylate.

Great job. Instead of Cyanoacrylate, which can be very dangerous when lots is used, I’d suggest using System 3 Rot Fix. it is a very low viscosity epoxy and is used to stabilize rotting wood.

Very nice piece and a great job with that book match. Thanks for sharing

thumbs up on the book matching. I also like the heftier, squattyer base.

The top just jumps out at you. How did you keep from taking too much off when working the wood? Great project.

That’s a fantastic piece … just an awesome look to the bookmatched top. Your changes to the design of the base works very well.

I had to come back for another look and to see if you’ve posted any more pix yet : )
