Jack Franklin’s Turned Wood Keepsakes

Jack Franklin

Jack Franklin has been working wood since he was a teen.  He learned to turn wood from woodworker “Mac” MacFeely after moving to The Holmstad. One of Jack’s specialties is designing wooden ornaments. He is also partial to cherry and has turned many lovely bowls and other serving pieces in addition to the tall cherry candle stand below.

Jack hollows each wooden sphere before adding a hand-turned finial and inserting a battery-operated tea light. The light is on a timer with six hours on and 18 hours off. The battery is replaceable for many years of enjoyment.

45.5″ Solid Cherry Candle Stand

This 45.5″ tall solid cherry candle stand is just right by a fireplace or in an entry way. The cup at the top holds either artificial flowers (shown) or a battery-operated candle of up to 3″ in diameter. There is only one for sale in the Wood Shop.
