Old farms have the best junk and that's where all the components originated to form an unusual way to hold candles. This rusty Barn Door Roller and an old Wood Level might not have much in common but they sure were meant for each other.

georgiamoon writes: Jim, what a warm and cozy atmosphere this creates. This is truly beautiful. It's funny how you can take rusty, hard, flaky, old stuff and turn it into something so soft and inviting. You are so talented, I am always so inspired by your creations. You are the KING of junk!
