I am always on the lookout at thrift stores for items useable in woodturning projects, usually I'm looking specifically for pepper mills I can rob the mechanism from. Not much luck in that area, but I did find these glass sconces for 50 cents apiece recently at a St. Vincent de Paul's store. I have no idea how they were originally held but the wheels started turning as soon as I saw them on the shelf.This one is on a Box Elder base, with some very nice spalting. 7 3/4" high, 3" diameter at the base, and one thick coat of brush-on polyurethane with some elbow grease added after drying.
Tea lights or plain wax candles will be added.
Comments of most any sort are welcome.
