Couple of months ago, when I saw this branch from recently cut maple in my backyard, and the curve it had, along with the worm trails, instantly in my mind I thought that it will look nicely as candle holder. It was a lot of "air" wood turning, off balance one, but the end result was very pleasing. It is 14" high. I have added a cathedral candle that is 16" high. Any candle smaller than that would not fit nicely, in my opinion.
