Here’s my latest candlestick creation. It’s made from the chopped-off base and legs from an old circular table (found in a skip, of course!) and a rusty metal ring for the candle holder itself.
Here’s a work-in-progress shot, with the items simply placed together to see how the various elements look/fit. . .

. . . and here is the final version, in its stained and varnished form (following the removal by paint stripper of the old scuffed varnish). The metal ring has a coat of spray varnish to protect it and stop the finish rubbing off onto the candle etc. As ever, the trusty mobile is there for scale.

I’m quite pleased with it – it fits well with the other stuff I’ve being doing lately.
