Confetti Lights

[Mark Hulette]

Just finished up a batch of 20 of these critters, first time I've tried them- seemed like a good, quick project for Christmas gifts. These are going to co-workers sometime this week.

Thanks for looking ~ any and all comments/critiques are welcome!

Nice Job Mark!
Just be sure to pull the wicks down about flush with the tops of the wick holders before using them.

[Andy Hoyt]

Cool! I just turned my first two lamps this afternoon. Not nearly as nice as these. Thanks!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Well done Mark! I like the forms and finish!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Very nicely done Mark. I do like the form and finish.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice job Mark! Great looking wood! I'm sure they will make wonderful gifts!

[Glenn Hodges]

Mark, handmade gifts as nice as these will be really appreciated this Christmas by your friends.

Hey Thanks, Jim! I was just trying to get a quick pic (sorry for the quality :rolleyes: ) and didn't pull the wicks back down.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I used lacquer for the first time and found that it will point out your stray tool marks and sanding lines real quick! A lot of this wood was home-grown spalting and some of it got too punky so my finishing leaves lots to be desired.

Thanks again.

Too late, Paul. She saw them when I brought them in the house last night. I can't believe she likes the wood... never figgered her for one to like spalting! :rolleyes: She's cool with it, though, so I can make her some AFTER Christmas.

Use some spray lacquer. You'll see 20 again......Be sure to breathe.....in through the nose...out the mouth...very important. ;)

Nice lookin' pieces Mark. I'm especially fond of the form in the back. :)

[Mark Hulette]

How did you know I used spray lacquer?? :cool: :cool: :cool: ;)

"... and then there were 20"

Thanks for the comments John and everyone!
