Thanksgiving Pilgrim Candle Holders

A friend asked me to come up with some thanksgiving candle holders made out of the antique spools I like to carve.  These make Ideal candle holders and for the most part they are made of maple and carve well.  There are some minor splintering problems on some due to age.

I merged a number of ideas into these pilgrims sticking to a pretty traditional theme and colors.  These were carved using a method called intaglio.  The figures are carved down but the background is left alone.

These old spools have a hole at the top that make them perfect candle holders.  Quite a nifty re-purposing if I do say so my self.

Hope all is well with you.

Go carve something!
