Candle Holder Spindle Work

This is made of cherry and finished with Turner’s Polish. It stands at about 6″ tall and is just over 3″ round at the base.
It was made in two parts with a tenon turned on the candle stick that was glued to the base. Here’s a photo of the two parts:

This was a great exercise in using the spindle gouge, as well as the skew and bowl gouge. It also had the added challenge of creating a tenon that had to fit to size.
