An Inspiring Light - Or This Little Light Of Mine

[Bill Stevener]

Hi Gang,

Some time last year, our fellow wood turner, Carole Valentine introduced a turning, that set off a spark. ;)

I went out to look for a container of sorts, found what I was looking for in Wally-world, kinda like a sugar bowl, candy dish I guess. Then started hitting on the auction pages for some "Magical Floating water Candles". Sort of old hat today, but I did score. Found it's still very popular in the UK, as they are maid there.

The bowl is 5 3/4"w x 3"h, glued up Walnut, Maple and Cherry in a Heptagon form with oval accents.

The glass dishes were only $1.00 - something, so I bought 6, turned 6 other forms, not requiring the same effort, that will go up for sale at a show a month from now.

Carole, Thanks for the the idea and the inspiration, these are fun.

Some photos of what I came up with, Thanks for takin a look,

Hi Gang,

Whow, thread's are going by faster than frames in a 35mm movie.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of the kind words, and to those who stoped by to take a look, a very fun project indeed.
