Tree Size Floor Lamp (Pics)

Beautiful work; I always enjoy pieces that take advantage of the woods natural shapes and colors. Thanks for sharing. The only thing I don't necessarily care for is the granite; I wish you would have made a wood table. No offense, JMO. Other than that, to MY eye, its a very gorgeous piece.

Hi Todd,

No offense taken.

Everyone has their own taste.

I have not glued the granite down to the plywood yet, in case we decide that we want another color of granite. I wish I still had a big slice of juniper root that I cut up into lamp bases. I think it would have made a nice table top.

Thanks for your comments,

Ron

Ron, Just out of curiosity

Did you race a formula car at PIR back in the 1970’s and 1980’s? Perhaps a Brabham or Chevron Formula A?

Ron, you've been blessed with some God given talent. That's amazing. How do you make the wood look so beautiful. I have a piece of Ironwood I'd like to bring back from the dead like that.

Ron, that is absolutely stunning. You have a wonderful eye for hidden art

Ron, on top of everything else, you have produced a beautiful piece while going through a challenging personal time. May your wife regain her full health soon - you both will remain in my prayers and I'm sure I speak for the rest of SMC. God bless and thanks again for sharing your inspirational artwork.

That is most amazing, what an eye, you have.

Great work! Here is a dumb question but I'll ask anyway. How did you route the electric wire up to the lamp?

No, not me but I have heard of the other guy with the same name.

Many Thanks to ALL for your comments.

Outstanding job! I think the granite tabletop is a great addition to the piece overall.

Was it difficult flattening the bottom so that it'd sit flat?
