Crafting a Candlestick Top


Overview


For this project, my go-to tool is the Skewchigouge by Crown Tools, versatile enough to be both an angled graver and a gouge. The goal is to start the profile from the edge, with the central point of the dish about 3/8 inches, extending roughly 1-7/16 inches from the outer edge. The base of the candlestick should meet the dish, requiring movement in both directions towards the stick for an ideal shape. Before finishing the base, make sure to round off the edge to achieve a smooth contour.

Process


The top edge should taper to a point where the dish profile begins. Further shaping the candlestick involves creating the candle cup profile and using a medium tool to turn the bead section beneath the cup to the appropriate diameter. Mark the center of the nozzle area and shape the lower part, ensuring it blends with the bead below. The Skewchigouge is my tool of choice for this task. The top of the candlestick shouldn’t be flat; use a medium tool to carefully work around the center phase on the tailstock, creating a gentle fray of about 1/16 inches from the edge without any metal contact.

Final Touches


The cone at the top is finely detailed, starting approximately 1/16 inches from the edge, with a depth reaching 3/8 inches. This design results in a lip at the top, giving a uniform finish around the candle cup's edge. Sand and polish the candlestick while it’s on the lathe, using the shavings for a smooth finish. Conclude by applying your favorite finish?"I opted for Behlen Woodturners’ finish.

By following these steps, you’ll create a beautifully crafted candlestick top that combines functionality and aesthetic appeal.
