Burled Juniper Log Floor Lamp #2: Ready to drill holes

Blog entry by Tim & Candy Hicks posted 267 days ago 387 reads 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch
« Part 1: Sandblasted ready for sanding Part 2 of Burled Juniper Log Floor Lamp series Part 3: Turquoise in 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.

So…..I drilled “holes” in my first lamp project (a small lamp, mind you) in a twisted piece of juniper. What a pain in the a#?ss. Any suggestions on the techniques you may use? I started on another one, but am having a hard time.
Thanks
