Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I know. The base is actually from a separate piece. Had to pin iland glue it then re turn just to get it to stand up. 😄 just practice really.

That's really nice 
Shapely and very appealling.
If it is too light, you could just hollow out the base a bit and fit in a lead plug….the weights that are used to balance car wheels are pretty good too.

I agree with Toddy on this one, It has a beautiful symmetry to it.
Cheers guys. The main shaft is some plum that has been in the wood store for about 2 year. The base is a piece of oak. Finish is good old linseed. Im going to get some shellac at some point. It was done on a ferm lathe(electric).

Good stuff!
Theres no reason you can't attach a even wider base to it when you've got a suitable bit of wood to turn, if you want. I've got to do the same for a stick I turned a fair while back, oops!

Nice work.
Be very careful about letting the candle burn right down. Over time, wax will impregnate the dry wood - if the candle burns down to the wood, it will go up like a flamethrower.

Nice work , I agree with the others that to make it safer it could do with a wider base but as long as your careful with it then its fine.
Good luck on other projects I will be looking forward to seeing them
