Nothing like having numerous projects to work on This lamp is very ribbon like; really flat but with lots of movement. It does have a small burl. The base will be cut down to size which will also shorten the lamp so that it is not so tall. We will scribe fit the lamp limb to fit the base. I have started sanding the limb and my husband has been working on the base.
I got the limb 100% sanded, my husband is inlaying turquoise in the base, next we will drill the holes for the cord. The dark spot you can see on the base is where we applied sanding sealer, there is a bit of rot so this helps harden the wood and it also keeps the glue from staining the wood when we inlay the turquoise.
Well, here it is sprayed and ready to take out for delivery. We finished with Satin Polycrylic
The stumps have been sanded and bolted to the bases. Tim leveled the tops after these pictures were taken, we are ready to spray
The stumps have been cut down to size, the sharp edges on the burls have been cleaned up and it is time to start sanding.
