Greenbeast Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Knocked this together for someone over the weekend just gone: I might go with shorter candles to not overwhelm the piece in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 i like the big candles on it! love the texture greenbeast, and the shape is unusual and eyecatching. hope your customer appreciated you work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbeast Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 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!

zeberdy2 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 really like this, really nice simple design. what was the finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbeast Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeberdy2 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 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.
