Turning at its simplest

Stewart,

These are very beautiful. They will make a treasured gift to those who receive them.

Simple? Maybe. But showing the growth rings this way is a stroke of genius in my opinion. Beautiful!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

A simple turn reveals a hidden beauty. Someday I’m going to have to start turning, talk about beautiful stuff.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Well Stewart,

I do like a nice turning. This qualifies. The problem with many projects is that they seam to be lost in the clutter of complexity and detail. Something few can actually pull off. A candle holder turned from a branch? You might just be a genius.

Cheers!

Stewart, those candleholders are simply elegant. The showing of the growth rings like that is stunninng. Well done!

PS—Did you get to MIMF yet?

nice gift, I have to get some time in the shop soon or I may forget what little I learned on turning.

Mr. Stewart, may I add, your rendition of candle holders put mine to shame, they are very nicely done and what in the hell is MIMF? mike

Mike:

MIMF is an acronym for Musical Instrument Makers Forum. It’s a Luthier thing, very similar to LJ, but mostly guitars, ukes, banjos, etc.

These are beautiful, what an idea the same yet different.

Good idea for presents, nice work!

Nice work Stew. They will make great presents.

Very simple but something someone might use for 50 years. Nice job Stewart.
