February 21, 201214 yr Knocked this together for someone over the weekend just gone: I might go with shorter candles to not overwhelm the piece in the end.
February 22, 201214 yr i like the big candles on it! love the texture greenbeast, and the shape is unusual and eyecatching. hope your customer appreciated you work :)
February 22, 201214 yr Author Thanks Beth, yeah he saw some of my other candle holders with that texture and asked for something along these lines. Luckily i've got a little power hammer to take the elbow work out of all the hammer pein marks! He hasn't seen it yet so i hope he does too!
February 28, 201214 yr Author It's just been wire cup brushed to remove forge scale, then degreased, that's all. Finishing techniques is an area i need to investigate more
February 28, 201214 yr yeah me too, i like waxing alot of my pieces, the metal comes out a bit more of a black sheen. but equaly i like just wire brusing like you have done, i like the pewter like finish it gives. i need to find some more wax though, which im finding difficult from everyday shops.
