I loved them.
Probably a dumb question by a newbie, but how did the "cracks" get there so
perfectly?

Thanks Tom - they aren't cracks but carved relief, the candlesticks are
stylistic representations of lily pads with flowers growing up from the
center. (YES, I KNOW LILY PAD FLOWERS ARE LOW WITH NO STEM TO SPEAK OF -
BUT HELL, I'M THE ARTIST AND IF I WANT MY LILY PADS TO HAVE STEMS WITH
FLOWERS ON TOP, THEN DAMN IT, THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M GOING TO MAKE
THEM.) Anywho, thanks again.

By the way, you seem like a good candidate to enjoy the World of
Woodturners. It's a private group that was an idea a past newsgroup
participant came up with to share photos, get and offer critiques if
desired and just post about woodturning. There are hundreds of members
from novice to professional and thousands of pictures. To participate
you need to be invited by a current member - but anyone is welcome to
join. Be forewarned though, if you are a bad site citizen you'll be
kicked out by the cops.

Tom, if you or anyone else within the sound of my tic-ticking keyboard
would like an invitation drop me a **private** email at my address
above. In the email indicate a real email address for you to receive the
invitation with your user name and password.
