Tea-light trio

Description of work

This trio of tea-light holders sits is turned from a single brach of yew. The creamy coloured sapwood gives way to the darker, orage-brown heartwood on each holder.

The pieces are finished with three differrent coats of wax - first Tripoli wax to smooth the surface even more than the sanding did, secondly white diamond, and dinally carnauba wax, which leaves a hard, high gloss finish.

I feel that tea lights work well in threes. I have done many versions of tea-light trios - have a look at the tea - light gallery. Some other tall versions are below.
