Tom, You make a lot of nice lamps and clocks. Do you ever sell them? If not you should think about it.

Thanks for all the gracious comments. I have to give my wife credit for picking out all the shades. A nice lamp with the wrong shade looks bad :^( These projects are “collective” efforts.

Ron, Right now I am employed full time in my “real” occupation. But, I am coming up on formal retirement, and then I might have the time to utilize my woodworking skills to make money. I actually have sold several items, but I haven’t figured out a way to put bread on the table by doing my woodwork. (I’m not good enough for that…)

Great vision to make it into a lamp. The crackle finish gives the base that old warf look. Very nice.

John, thanks for the kind words. I do like to make lamps. Often my wife and I will see something that we like, which will prompt another lamp project – this was one of them. Because we live .9 of a mile off the Atlantic ocean, the nautical theme does appeal to us. We ended up putting this lamp in our “guest” room.
Also, making a lamp is a fun project that doesn’t take months to build (or a large workshop, which I don’t have).
