Hello all, this is the third candle stand that I have turned. Being new to turning I am still trying to do alot of learning so if there is any advice that you can give to help me I would appreciate it.

Nice looking candle holder. I try to give my curves more subtlety. My personal taste is for curves to be more flowing without flat spots or straight lines. I like beads and coves as a decoration and used more sparingly. To me, simple curves and designs done properly are more elegant. Sometimes the simplest designs are the most difficult. Keep trying new things and practice and you will develop your own style. When I try new designs, I try it several times and try to improve each time. I hope my ramblings make some sort of sense.

Great project and thanks for sharing.

trifern thanks for the advice. I agree that the simpliest forms are sometimes harder to create. So far I have been letting my inexperiece determine the project design hopefully in the future I can reverse that. Again thanks for the help.
