Juniper lamp
« on: February 05, 2017, 06:57:44 pm »
Joe sent me a section of an old fence post he found on the ranch and suggested it might make a nice lamp base. After discussing it with him a bit I came up with a plan. I cut it in half so I could get the hole bored through and then glued and rejoined it with a myrtle spacer.



After the glue dried, I trued it up and turned it to shape.



Today I had a chance to finish sand it, apply a light coat of tung oil, and mount the hardware. Just needs a lamp shade now.

Yes it is, Ed. Very similar to ERC, but I'm assuming it is different. Either way, kinda cool to recycle this old post and make it part of my family.

Cool looking lamp with all that color, exposed grain and knotty character. I love seeing whatever it is that comes out of your shop Scott. Your always turning out something nice from natures materials.
