    First Confetti Lamp

    Since I'm still here I will post a few pics from yesterdays work ...
    with everyone's help I was able to finally find a liquid candle for some confetti lamps, I thought I'd share my first one with you,
    This one was supposed to actually be upside down but I forgot which way I was going until it was too late so I, uhhmm, well, improvised...


    Mahogany-
    7" dia -- 2"tall
    sanded to 600 no finish on it yet though,
    Critiques welcome
    Thanks,
    --Chris

    Chris that is a beauty. I like the form and finish. I just ordered some and hope to give them a try. Nice work.

    Nice Job!
    With good form you should be able to turn it up or down and it will look good.
    Mighty fine looking Confetti Lamp!

    Nice wood, unique shape - overall a very nice looking confetti lamp! Were you going to put some form of finish on it? Curious - think it would help the grain stand out. Nice work!
