You may wonder what happens to the pieces of wood that remain when Brian turns a bowl or platter. They are piled in the corner until he decides to make some tea candles. The beautiful edges of burl or figured wood are not discarded but turned to add a bit of light to your table or room.
Brian mounts each piece of wood on the lathe and shapes it to best display any grain or bark that is present. A hole the size of a tea candle is drilled into the centre of the wood.
The raw edge of the maple burl tea candle is an exact match to this magificant burl bowl. A perfect complement as they were part of the same maple burl.
