Bob, I watch a lot of woodturning videos. This is one of the best I have seen. You had a great project and showed us the end result - what you were striving for - then showed how to attain that end goal. Your tools, materials etc. were readily available and you cut out parts that were unnecessary. Thank You for a job well done!!
I have always wondered why you would put a metal liner in the candle hole. The wood is far harder than candle wax and the chance of catching the candlestick on fire seems vanishingly small. What is the rationale?
Well, those candlesticks are gorgeous. Guess what's going to be a new project lol.

Hi Bob
Nice work, very nice result. Thanks for this video. Darragh in France
Hello. Very elegant! Thank you for the video
This is really good. Thank you.
Just a small point, your tail stock chuck is an German design named after its inventor’Albrecht’ Keyless Chuck, not a Jacobs which uses a chuck key.
Thanks for the shellac + leather dye tip. Am planning to make these for standard 7/8 tapers but may drill out the base a bit and add lead weights.
Does the polish Penetrate or sit on the surface?

This can be used for real wax candles. If you lit the wood candle it would have a small fire on you hands that could easily spread. Just safety!
You added the weight at the end. I will probably add them first.
