Hi Will, Four great Candlesticks. I would leave the last one alone as the contrast between the base and the stem really works for me. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@William_Kenny]

Cheers Huw I did leave as is, thanks for watching mate 👍

Beautiful candle sticks, William. 😊😊😊

[@William_Kenny]

Thanks very much Rob 😊 👍

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Impractical and undervalued, but you just got to love turned candle sticks.

[@William_Kenny]

Thanks very much pete with a little modification would make lovely lamp base's 👍

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great work. Don’t mess with switching out the stem. You have enough spalting in the base. Beautiful piece. Brilliant technique.

[@William_Kenny]

Thank you kindly Doug appreciate you watching mate 👍

Nice bit of spindle turning there Will, I'm not great at spindle turning and you make it look so easy lol 😀

[@William_Kenny]

Cheers Mike i like to try different things, enjoyed making them a few lamp base's next 😀 👍

[@BBTurning]

Very nicely done William, I am delighted to see someone else using a continental, especially with the wings which makes the tool very versatile. In my opinion you can get nearly as good a cut with a continental as you get with a skew. Shay

[@William_Kenny]

Thanks very much shay you were the first one I seen using it, I use it a lot and it does cut really well, Cheers From will 👍

[@racheldray1057]

Love them! I've made a couple of mini candlesticks, but failed miserably when trying to match them LOL! They're fun to turn. I really liked this design, I might have a go at it when I get the right bits of wood. I rather liked the plainer top with the spalted base. That little bit of pencil marking just tied it in. I was urging you to change your mind when you said you were going to do another spindle! The spalting looks like marble.

[@William_Kenny]

Thanks very much Rachel you'll be happy to hear I left it as it was, thanks for watching, Cheers From will 👍

@@William_Kenny You're welcome. Have a great day!

[@GingerLeftyGuitar]

Very beautiful work. Would you have any advice for a new woodturner in Ireland, where to get a ready source of materials. I’ve been buying blanks, but it’s getting expensive. Thanks

[@William_Kenny]

The only place I know of is the carpentry store in nass, but buying blanks can be expensive, try to find local tree surgeons they sometimes be happy to give some wood away for a turned bowl or two, Kind regards From Will 🙂
