Finally finished my candlesticks

[Jenn Hill]

Hi everyone,
A bit ago I asked for some advice about finishing these candlesticks. They are all done. Have a lock and let me know what you think. Thank you everyone for your advice. I used Watco Danish Oil and buffed with tripoli and Renaissance Wax. These were the largest items I've ever done and aside from a few minor things they came out pretty good. I hope my Mom likes them!

[John Keeton]

These turned out very nice!! Love the contrast and color.

[Bill Bolen]

Pretty pieces Jenn, I'm sure Mom is gonna love them...Bill...

[Mike Willeson]

Your mom will love them Jenn. The finish has a very soft tone to it. Nice job!

[David E Keller]

Beautiful. I love the soft, warm finish. Nice work.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Your mom is going to love those. Really nice pieces. Nice form and really a soft look to them.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Jenn - very nice work! I really like the natural look to everything! The soft finish really adds to the look! Your Mom is going to be thrilled with these!

Thank you everyone for your positive comments!!!

Hi, Jenn. Very well executed! Two thumbs up!
Do you have a spike in the center to hold the candles? Just curious.

[Thom Sturgill]

Very nice. The form is good on each and works well as a set. Sometimes when making a set like that the forms don't work well on individual pieces (height vs dia ratios, etc) but these all seem to 'be in the zone' so they could be used as a grouping or separated. Good job.

Two thumbs-up!

No Allen, I didn't spike the centers. I thought about it but my Mom likes the battery powered candles that come on on their own. She doesn't have to worry about fire that way. Thanks for the thumbs up!!

[Mike Willeson]

Never heard of those Jenn...might be worth looking into...can you provide a source for the candles?

I'm a little late in replying but really nice job Jenn. Good design and a nice soft finish.

[Roland Martin]

Very nice form, color contrast & finish. Nice work Jenn.

Mike, My Mom usually gets them on QVC but I've seen them at Joanne's craft stores and Bed Bath and Beyond. Amazon also has them. Just type in Flameless candle in your search engine. They are great because you don't have to worry about fire and they flicker and look pretty realistic.

Thanks Jenn. Got a set bookmarked on Amazon for future purchase...
