CANDLE HOLDERS, CRAFT BLADES, MAGNIFIERS
Craftsmen working in Horn, bone and antler very often have bits left over. Such small pieces are very often used as handles for small utility type blades, like bottle openers, cheese and letter blades, corkscrews and the like.
There is also a great demand for candle cups to be used with either turned wooden items, or at present to make up antler based candle holders, be these whole or cut pieces.
So if you require these items but weren't ware of where you could find them, then here they are...
Corkscrew steel
These corkscrew steels work well with wood, horn or thick walled antler ( antler handles may be drilled and plugged with harder, more solid horn to provide a sound "anchor" for the threaded portion of the corkscrew steel).
Method - drill handle with a sized bit to a fraction less than the diameter or the threaded portion of the corkscrew steel, then screw the steel into the handle using a little epoxy to assist the thread in cutting it's own channel into the handle material.

Illustrated with the optional drip tray, these candle cups are manufactured with a "staybright" nickel plated finish. 54mm high and 33mm at their widest point (top)
Will accomodate a candle diameter of 22mm without trimming of candle base.
The narrowed base portion accomodates a 5mm pilot hole which may be used to secure the cup to whatever it is being fixed onto ( especially useful in securing to antler...the narrowed section may be sunk into the antler to assist in leveling the piece ) Self tapping screws or set screws with nuts ( not supplied) are best for securing the piece to it's chosen base.
