Box Elder Candlestick Holders

These are some candlestick holders I recently turned. They are turned like you would to inside out turning, then on axis to finish the top and bottom. They are about 14" tall and the ribbons are about an inch and three quarters wide. The finish is lacquer.

There needs to be more room on the top and bottom Robert.

You are welcomed to retake the photo and resubmit the image

Can do. I'll try to get a new one within the next couple days.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Is the image a bit soft? (out of focus?)

The reflection looks fairly sharp to me. The grain isn't very defined, more like a burl than defined rings. The one on the far left isn't giving off much of a reflection so it looks soft. I'll maybe see if I can borrow my daughter's camera, if you think it has a chance.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Looks better Robert, But I think it would improve even more with an darker background.

If you want you can send this one, but first take a look at the checklist in this link
