Are they made separately, then welded on?
is the holder made of big steel with the shaft drawn out?
Your efforts will not go unseen and uncared for!
As for these candles, they are very simplistic and look like what you would see in an old 1800's house as dinner table pieces, or candles in the windowpane.
What did you make these from, cast iron? The hammer marks are really nice, and add to the aesthetic.
Personally, I would buff the hell out of them, then lightly mist them with some black paint. But that's my personal preference.
These were not cast but forged. The hammer marks are there because that's what they were made with.
The surface is tar-burned to black but I could also have polished them with wax afterwards. Burning with tar or oil is a traditional way to do finishing to forged items so I scarcely use black paint.
