Our old walnut tree is unfortunately dying, there are more and more dried branches on it, that we had to cut. These branches are not waste, one of them (the biggest) became a column to hold the roof bellow the stairs to the house. That was made last October-November.
Tamás cut some newly dried branches that i began to process for future rattle-handles, drum-sticks, but i also made two candle holders as well. I cut them with saw, then removed the bark and polished them. The result: beautiful sticks with curves and forks (really "hard forks", hahaha) and a heavy pain in my arm muscles all the night. But i don't mind, i'll be stronger. You know i love playing like a child, so i put the sticks together with stones, balancing them well, but a big sneeze was enough to collapse them (My nose was full of dust because i polished them with glasspaper). So i built them again and took some photos.

Candle holders from coconut shell, the small one has a stone in it:
