About 6' tall; halogen lamps. Slate base with holes cut in it as needed; Triangular back support and 'wings' - walnut; main 'front' board - Jatoba (brazilian cherry). Walnut stained with walnut gel stain; Jatoba with Mahogany gel stain. Brazed copper tubing as an accent. Constructed January - March, 2006.
This particular one has a flaw (moderately well hidden), so I kept this one. Others have been made, and are in the posession of Zander and Karen. Only the base varies, and they have all been granite or marble. November 2005 for the first one, others periodically. A variant which will have a single traditional bulb/socket/shade is in-progress.
This one started out with a round floor tile as a base; through various stages, different parts ended up being problematic and/or breaking; this picture is the end result. September - November 2005
Summer, 2005. The green paper puzzle made by my nephew, Alexander ('Zander') was the inspiration. The intent was to have the original puzzle incorporated into the end result, but the paper got seriously discolored when polyurethaned, so the paper was removed. Made with scraps.
Summer, 2005 About 2' x 3'
About 16" x 12". Apple; lid is cherry & mohogany. For a former co-worker. Completed early 2002.
apple and honey locust; it took a couple of pieces of wood to cleanly drill the center hole through without piercing the side.
