Jon Lanier Member Messages 193 Location Xenia, Ohio Oct 21, 2008 #1 I had seen this little chunk tossed away in a pile and thought I'd give a tea light a shot. I think next time I have something this eroded I'll boost it with thick CA.

Brent Dowell Administrator Staff member Messages 16,933 Location Reno NV Oct 21, 2008 #5 Looks like a successful tea light to me, and what a nice piece of wood... It's funny how the definition of a nice piece of wood can change depending on if you are thinking Flat or Spinny...

Vaughn McMillan Administrator Staff member Messages 37,084 Location ABQ NM Oct 21, 2008 #6 I think it looks great, Jon. I'm with Stu...call the flaws a feature and add $5 to the price.
Bernie Weishapl Member Messages 4,834 Location Goodland, Kansas Oct 21, 2008 #7 Shucks don't add $5 that character is worth at least $10. Great looking piece Jon.
Brian Kight Member Messages 69 Location orlando, FL Oct 22, 2008 #8 That is a pretty piece there. I love those pieces that are so nasty on the outside but end up perdy on the inside.

Don Orr Member Messages 912 Location Schenectady, NY Oct 24, 2008 #11 Nice Job And nice wood, and nice shape, and nice finish. I don't see anything at all wrong with this piece. Great save from the scrap pile.
