Good call on the 5 vs 6 candles. 5 is a fibonacci number and a more natural look.

That is a nice candle holder and I agree that putting in an odd number of candles improves the appearance. Nice intrepretation of the plan. It can be found in volume 29 number 173.

Great job and the walnut looks great. Nice use for it.

I like the added flutes on the legs

You were wise to reduce the number of candles from 6 to 5. Everything I know about design indicates that an odd number of items is more pleasing to the eye.
Very nice candle holder.

thanks….everyone for the comments…

Rustic the flutes are actually covering a mistake. When I originally started, i was laminating 2 3/4 pieces of oak together, thinking I would then cut them down putting the seam in the corner…well my measurements were off because of my sucky geometry skills….so i was rushing around trying to find someone who had less expensive 8/4 material when it struck me just to put a grove down each side where the seam was.

when I do another, i will probably sand the legs to 320 because they arent as light as I wanted them to be…

Nice looking centerpiece.

I love the Walnut and Oak combo. Perfect colors. Great job.

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

Nicely done. I like what a simple project idea this is but it came out so good.
