On a road trip to
Dan Boone’s Pasture Party, John Steel, Bob Rupert and Chris Holt stopped
by Glenn Horr’s shop. As luck would have it, Glenn was working on a
project that just may be a summer challenge for you!
-
Materials: 3” of 1 1/4 “ round stock
-
Draw
out 18” to 1/4 to 5/8”, round to a point
-
Taper
“leaf” form
-
Flatten and forge into leaf, begin to shape into a botanical
form.
-
Perfect leaf form with texture and turn tip. Note the center of the
leaf is “dished” so that the candle will sit nicely into leaf form.
-
After leaf is made, start on “stem-candle holder”. Twist the 18”
to add texture. Even though you have forged it round the twisting
will add a nice variety to the stem..
-
Making sure to add detail spiral on the end before you wrap the
length of the stem.
-
Heat and wrap the length to 7/8” or 1” round
-
Finally bring the spiral holder over centered leaf.
