    Confetti Lamps

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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,

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

    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.
