I had to

This looks like a fun project to tackle, especially when you just need to complete something fairly quickly. This is a good time of the year to be building these as well since candle holder always make good Christmas gifts.

Its never just another one with you, Houtje. Elegant design and more scrap turned into something beautiful. I might just copy this if thats alright with you.

Oh and Mooi !

Thanks Martin,
You can copy as much as you want.
It's nice that you can injoy it as much as I do.

Houtje

Your creativity is just amazing…

Please make more room in your workshop if that means more of your designs.

Hello Houtje

Another beautiful piece

I like it

I think I will copy this project (If you are Ok )

With a little things you can do big things and I like this spirit

Thanks for sharing

No problem Diggerjacks, just injoy it….

I like how the candles are offset from each other - I would not have thought of doing that!

Great job!

Thanks

I note this project in my favorite

Great looking tea light holder.

Thanks for sharing !

I normally tend to like candle holders that have an odd number of candles, but this one is different. It's very balanced and sort of seems like there's a mirrored image thing going on here.

These are always a great scrap wood project and you've done well here. Now that I've got a running BS, I'm going to have to start introducing curves into some of my candleholders and boards like you've done here.

The curves seem to be quite consistent, so my question is, did you freehand them, or draw them on nicely ahead of time, then cut the line?

I like it. Very artful.

Jonathan,

I draw on side a line on freehand,cut it out and lay the part I cut of on the
other side.

Awesome way to use up those scraps. From trash to treasure. Nicely done

Houtje, you are always able to make nothing into something elegant.
Impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Best thoughts,

Dat ziet er erg leuk uit met die thee lightjes.

That looks nice with those candles.

Be well, Bp.

Houtje, did you just stain the thin pieces darker before gluing them together or are they a different species?
I like the offset as well Bob and I think its because it follows the curve in the project?? Pat

Houtje, this is so unusual and very beautiful. I especially like the contrast of the two different woods.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments.
It's was aan experimentel project, just wanted to see what it was going to be.

The dark strips are a diffrent kind of wood.And African wood called Tali.
Rip them on the bandsaw and glue them together.

Houtje

Did you have to soak the wood to make it bend or was it thin enough to glue without it? Sorry for the beginner questions but I'm trying to learn from others experience and not by trail and error. Pat

Belg1960
No I didn't soak the wood. It was thin anough to bend it.
I clamped it between the vice than you have more power.
