Hand-crafted candle holders are created from the staves of retired wine
barrels made from French oak. The barrels are carefully disassembled
and the artist selects only those staves suitable for use as a
candleholder holder art piece. Each stave is hand-washed, lightly
sanded and then the artist hand-applies a wood stain to the areas of
the barrel stave where the wood was not colored by the wine stored
within. The
artist is careful to preserve the natural beauty of the wood and any
marks or staining left by the cooper during the process of barrel
making, the cellar masters during cellaring and the wine itself while
aging.
