Sometimes the most beautiful things happen by accident. Such is the case with burls in wood. Jamie uses a thick slice of this rare,extremely desirable type of naturally created patterned wood to create the base of the Rhine candle hurricane. Sized for use with pillar candles,the walls that protect the fragile flame are crafted of thick glass and topped with a touch of burnished brass. Perfect for use while dining alfresco,for maximum impact display in pairs.
