Confetti Lamps

[Mark Cothren]

My turn on a couple of lamps... first one just trying something different... spalted Poplar... second one is, IMO, a very neat chunk of Black Cherry. God sure done good on that wood...:)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Mark I really like that second one! Gorgeous wood.

[Mark Pruitt]

God sure done good on that wood...:)
That's an interesting piece of creation...both God's and yours!:D :cool:

[Wayne Bitting]

wow - love them both!!

[Don Baer]

Mark,
Those are both great amps. May I ask where you get your refillable lamps. I have been looking high and low and can't find a source.

[Mark Cothren]

Don, I got those a long time ago from some place Jim Ketron put me onto. I don't think they even carry them any more. So I don't have a supplier for those any more and have stocked up on the disposables.

Mark,
May I ask where you get your refillable lamps.

Craft Supplies http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com has them as well as Packard Woodworks.

You get a bulk discount if you order 5 or more sets of 4 from CS. Nice folks to deal with, too!

Mark,

LOVE the black cherry... is the black stripe a bark inclusion? Neat feature!

[Dennis Peacock]

Awesome Mark.!!! The Cherry one is my favorite. :D

[Mark Cothren]

... is the black stripe a bark inclusion?

That is correct... bark inclusion from a small crotch.

[Bernie Weishapl]

WOW!!! Mark they are both beauties. Nice job.

[Jonathon Spafford]

THose are really beautiful... you did a grand job! got a question though... what did you use on the first one to get into the corner where the inside dome meets the wall... I am assuming that is all one piece!!! Anyway, nice job!

[Ed Scolforo]

Beautifully done! I especially like the cherry.

Yes, it's one piece. I just worked into the corner with my 3/8" gouge. This wood cut very easy and fairly clean, so it worked out pretty good.

Mark, they both look great but since we seem to be voting for a favorite, I pick No. 1, the NE:)

3/8 spindle or bowl gouge???

[Christopher K. Hartley]

You're right about God doing good but so did his servant Mark. Great work.:)

[Mike Vickery]

Beautiful pieces I especially like the second one.

[Rusty Smith]

Awright Mark!! Beautiful!

So, now you, Dennis and me need to get together so I can learn to make one of them things.
