[木工車床/Woodturning] 燭台 / Candle Holder


燭台


左邊為木麻黃,右邊為不知名木頭。
從朋友那拿到一隻木麻黃,花紋很特別、很美,第一次遇到這種木頭,就來車車看。車起來相當雖然硬且脆,但不至於要常常磨刀,也不會難車製,砂磨起來也算容易。 
燭台這個題目與高腳杯包含了幾個相同的練習重點,這樣一來,可以提供基礎班同學有另一個選擇的題目了!
其實並沒有刻意要做一組燭台,不過這兩隻燭台擺在一起看起來還頗速配。
做完後讓我開始思考一組這個概念(問題):
怎麼樣可以讓兩個看起來完全不同的東西成為一組
看來這是接下來可以嘗試的題目了!

Candle Holders

Casuarina equisetifolia on the left. Unknown wood on the right.
I got a piece of casuarinas equisetifolia from a friend awhile ago. It was very beautiful, and the grain was very different from what I have used so far. It was a little bit crispy when I working on it, but result turned out great. It definitely was not soft wood, but there was not too much trouble when it came to sanding. 
Candle holder and goblet shared some similar characters. Looks like this can be an alternative subject for the beginner class.
I didn’t mean to make a set of candle holders, but these two looked all right together.
Therefore, it got me thinking. . .
What qualities contributed to “a set”? How can I make two completely different objects to become a set. 
Well, I guess I have to find out the answers in my future projects.
