I was cutting a part of a stump off to get it through my band saw. The stump had been sitting for a while and I wasn’t even sure what it was (or where it came from for that matter). Rather than throw the cut off in the trash, I chucked it up in the vase to see where it would take me. It appears to be cherry with just tons of figure in it (from being so close to the ground I imagine). With the serious angle on the end it could only take one shape and it seemed to me that it wanted to be a nice little wind-proof tea light candle holder. So it was!
