Here's "the Rest"
You guys were pretty close with your guesses! They are tea light holders that I turned on the lathe, and brought to California to give to some of the nicest and most giving people I know!
I turned them from Brazilian mahogany and put an antique oil finish on them. I just love seeing the color come out with the oil! I mostly "winged" the designs; the tallest one I made from a picture in my head, the second tallest one from a picture I drew, and the little one was a result of getting carried away with my spindle gouge. I'm still learning a lot about the lathe and my tools as I go, but I'm so happy with my progress and I'm having so much fun with it! Next, I think I need to experiment with a lighter colored wood and some paint...
Kate! Is there NO END to your talents?!?
