Still Here

I guess it has been quite some time since I posted here.  We shall rememdy that today.  What follows is a couple of candle boxes.  both could be used for tobacco, but the larger of the two is more suited to a fire starting kit or something other than tobacco.

The small one is made from cow horn with cherry lid, bottom, and wax catch.  the candle cup is turned from cow horn and there is a threaded knob that will screw into the hole when in storage.  The candle provides a ready source of flame to keep the pipe lit.  The inscription on the box reads:  “A full pipe and gill of harty rum are the fathers of abiding frendships and fertel reverys”







The large one is made from watusi horn and measures approx six inches across the base. the lid, base and wax catch are from walnut and the candle cup is turned from cow horn. again this has a threaded knob to put in place of the candle cup during storage. all pieces fit into the box.





OK Folks, until next time i remain
You Most Humble and Obedient Servant
