Checkerboard Wood Candlestick Holder Segmented Lathe Turned Two Tone Hardwood

Checkerboard turning is a classic woodturner's technique: blocks of light and dark wood are glued up into a pattern, then turned on a lathe so the squares flow into triangles and teardrops that follow the curves. This little holder shows that craft up close, and it would look good on a shelf, mantel or desk, with or without a candle.

Details

• Key facts: laminated two-tone wood, light and dark hardwood, turned on a lathe, with a satin natural finish.
• The narrow socket with a small center nub suits a slim taper candle, and it could also hold pens or spills.
• Weighs about 4.7 oz.

Condition: Used with light surface wear. There is a hairline separation along the horizontal glue seam of the body, a thin vertical crack in the flared base, and open seam lines on the underside. See photos.
