I found a plan in the recent Wood Magazine for a candle stick holder. I had a hard time turning the picture in the magazine into a good SVG. I eventually got it and brought it in CC. I had a bunch of 5/8" mahagoney and glued up a couple of pieces. I cut out the design today. There are some more parts to make like a base and top but just getting the complicated part done was fun.
Here is the cover of Wood Magazine with the candle holders on it.
Will update when done. I may change the top and bottom to be round but will make the design choices later.
