My first tea candle holders. Obviously from the pile of firewood. The wood is beech and I finished with varnish. With this project I learned how to make them come in lathe. In the last picture you can see the mistake: at the back of one of them you can see the recession for chuck. However it seems to have been appreciated since I sold two days after I exposed them.

Very nice, I like the way they seem to float above the table top.

Great job. Time to start mass production. They should sell pretty good. The chuck recession might actually help to stabilize them.

I like the design. The undercut bottom gives the illusion of floating. I have used a similar undercut on other things I have turned.
I don’t think the the chuck recess is a problem. I leave it in almost everything and usually decorate the center of it with beading. That is where I usually sign the work, put the name of the wood used, and year made. You could however reverse the chuck mounting process and use a spigot that can be cut and/or sanded off when completed.

Thanks !
@Radu: mass production will be !
@LesB: You’re right, is not a problem. The spigot hint is really interesting, and I’m going tu use it.
