Beehive Candle

[Glenn Hodges]

This design is made from wild black cherry. It is about 5 inches wide and 2.5 inches high, and finished with spray lacquer. These things are fun to make because you can let yourself go wild with the design. Comments are welcomed.

[Michael Stafford]

That is pretty cool, Glenn. What do they call a bee hive in that shape? A skep?????

[Glenn Hodges]

Mike, in need of a descriptive term for it, I named it for the pictures I had seen for the old beehives. These were probably used in the early 1800's or prior to that time. I had to call it something. Anyway thanks for the favorable comment.

[John Hart]

Wow...looky at that!! I love the wood and the shape. The finish is nice too! You have such good taste Glenn. :)

[John Hart]

Oh....I have a question Glenn: Is it a Hollow Form or just bored for the candle?

[Glenn Hodges]

Thanks John, it is just bored out for the candle.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Glenn,

That looks great!! I love the concentric rings...

[Keith Burns]

I like this one a whole lot. Has a great form and the rings really add to it. Two thumbs up :)

[Mark Cothren]

Very nice, Glenn! I really like that a lot!

Thanks for the picture!

[Carole Valentine]

Cool, Glen! I should receive my confetti lights I ordered tomorrow so I will get to try some of those.

[Dick Parr]

Very nice Glenn, those do look like fun to make.

As soon as I can find a place to buy them in qty of 20-25 I would like to make some also. Between you and Jim, your having all the fun.:)

[Glenn Hodges]

Thanks for the nice comments, and thanks to Jim for turning me on to having so much fun.

[Harry Pye]

Glenn,

Did you turn those beads freehand or did you use a beading tool? They look perfect!

[Glenn Hodges]

Thanks Harry, I used a beading tool to lay them out, and because this thing was spalted I was getting some tear out, I use a skew to form them.

[Jim Ketron]

Oh thats a nice one Glenn!
great job on the beads, and love the shape of the form also!
The Confetti lamps are lots of fun, and so simple to make.

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Another good lookin' project.

Okay, I can finally write something. Seeing your beehive made me think of something sweet, which turned my attention to the fresh peach cobbler that just cooled off on the stove. Just finished my last delicious bite.

I remember pictures of beehives like that Glenn.

Great job on the confetti bee light.
