Inside out candlestick holder

[Curt Fuller]

I turned this for a demo at our club meeting last thursday night. It's an inside out turning with a small tenon that fits into a base that was turned seperately. It's ambrosia maple with a craftsupplies brass candle cup. 9" tall, just under 2" at widest point.

In order to demo I had to have three sets of the pieces of wood in three stages. One set in 1x1x10" pieces to show the first glue up, one glued up to show the first turning and how to take it apart, and one that was turned, taken apart, and glued back up inside out to show how to finish it. So now I have two more I can make just like it.

Cool Curt! Very nice work!:)

[Bonnie Campbell]

I like that! Very nice :)

[Pete Jordan]

It turned out very well! Are they very hard to make?

[Ernie Nyvall]

Alright Curt, that looks great. Nice job.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Awesome Curt. I really like the form. I am going to have to try one of those. Nice work.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautifully done Curt! I've got to try one of those someday!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nicely done Curt! Beautiful wood! Great form - really like the thin walls and how you opened the inside up as much as you did! Nice job!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Cool job... I always have liked those I/O turnings... I love that wood too!

[Mark Cothren]

Neat work - did you take any pics of the build-a-long?

[Ernie Kuhn]

Curt,
Excellent!! Did you use paper between the joints at the initial glue up?
Really sophisticated shape, lets the wood speak. What finish did you use?

Nicely done Curt! I think it stinks that I can't do that. Methinks it's a lack of patience.....maybe a lack of skill.....and a whole myriad of other things that make me incompetent!!!:o

[David Fried]

I have a list of things to try and that is on it. I really need to stop keeping the list in my head and write it down. I seen the same basic shape scaled way down and used as a finial and liked it. Nicely done, time to work on that list.

I tried one and am still ducking pieces bouncing around the room. I tried to use super-glue only on one end. Didn't work for me. Also I didn't have a good way of squaring up the material, which is an important issue I read.

Nicely done Curt.

[Paul Engle]

Waayyy cool man. I tried one with a spindle inside but it ended up outside:( in the blaze king pile .....:D

[Scott Donley]

Very nice, wish I had your talent, might just have to give one of those a try in 2007 :D

[Bob Hallowell]

Very nice Curt,
