Lastest Doin's

Okay, really... I do more thank look at all of the pretty pictures here. I'm trying to learn to make my own pretty twirly things. :)

Okay, this morning I decided to take a stab at candle sticks. I haven't made them before, but they're not pens so it's a nice change. These are made of maple, sanded to 400 and finished with tung oil. I think the hardest part was making them so they looked enough alike to look like a set.

Any critique, comments or advice is appreciated.

Brad, I would say that you succeeded. I like the treatment at the bottom; it balances out the top very nicely.
You are inspiring me to step out beyond pens and wooden beads :)

(I know, they've got fingerprints and the pictures aren't the greatest... but it matches my turning skills as of now)
