Turned Saal Wood Tea light holder

Bold and earthy, this turned saal wood tea light candle holder with a minimal design speaks the language of nature. The craft of wood turning is hundreds of years old. A skilled artisan fixes a rough-hewn circular block of wood at the head of the traditional lathe machine and hammers it in place by hand. The machine begins whirring as the artisan introduces a hand-held chisel to the block, and applies varying degrees of pressure to sculpt the desired shape and to smoothen the edges. It is a rustic take on classic styles!
