This is such a fun time of year !! love creating fun things ----These
are ones I am so proud of -created by my "Sweet Hubs ". The family loves to choose several-- He gives them to special friends and family-- they take a lot of cutting and glueing of many small -tiny ,exotic woods[ ebony , purpleheart , and many others I cannot name ] which he dreams up designs (all his -and he is so artistic ) Then the turning begins .
They are completely hollow inside, and then the addition of the hanger part decided and turned --and bottom also --and then all glued together --They are very prized and the children draw numbers to see who goes first lol --as each are different --none exactly alike - These are a few more available to Kids and friends -- I especially love the herringbone one -- it is amazing to see these take shape --He makes it look easy -
Wanted to show you a cute candle -- I made -- such fun - need to add a little
Stickles to it for that bling I love --
Stay warm - Kathy - ga ♥

I love these! I wonder, did you share some similar photos last year? I have seen similar before and had the same reaction - absolutely stunning craftmanship. He is very talented!
Hi Kathy,

HI all , yes hub has been making these a couple of years -- and I posted some last year
These are different styles -- as per woods etc - - the one in what HUB calls herringbone -- and *sorry cannot think of the name of the speckled wood ,, Everyone he makes has something different about it -- He also makes bowls - pens ,bud vases , pepper mills -- that have these variegated tops etc.
He is a master craftsman , that is a General Home contractor
He never sells anything-- they are all made for special people IN OUR LIVES -- AND ARE MUCH PRIZED -- HE IS BELOVED BY CHILDREN ANDby adults - ALL WHO KNOW HIM -as Grandronny--
Each time he does a major kitchen additiion or renovation -- He presents the homeowner with a Pepper millor fruit bowl , to fit their kitchen
style and colors --(of course those are made with food safe woods . kATHY ♥
Kathy Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful and talented family. Your husband has a real eye for beauty ( not just in wood!)I really like your candle. Hugs,Terri
