Very nice Kevin, you can tell you put a lot of time in it. I'm assuming
the light spins around and it plays music from the land of the midnight
sun. George Troy

It's about 28" high, give or take. Woods used a

Yellow cedar burl: base
chakte kok (redheart)
cherry
cocobolo
mahagony
purpleheart
maple
walnut
coffee grounds/CA glue (decorative strip in the top)
1/8" brass rod

I finished it with Formby's Tung Oil Finish

Going to sit on it for the winter, probably take it down to the store I
sell through next summer. I'm already thinking/planning the next one.

The fixture is rated to 75 watts, but I only put a 5 watt nightlight
bulb in it. I tried a 25 watt candleabra bulb, which didn't seem to be
a problem, but there's virtualy no heat with the nightlight bulb. It's
more a romance light than a reading light anyway, so brightness isn't
mandatory.

Enjoy...

...Kevin
