    A lamp is a perfect project for Easter weekend! Bring more light into the world!! And filling the Dixie cups with color reminded me of the years coloring Easter eggs with my kids. I think it's safe to say that we are all envious of the person who owns this along with the other coral reef piece. These are beautiful!! Thanks again, Jim.

Ya know there are a ton of people on here that have long videos and I’m usually not a fan of watching for that long but yours kept me interested and was not bored or felt like you lagged on! So good job! I like how informative you are without being boring or repetitive! So thank you for that!

    Jim: you forgot the time of the tide changes. That is why it was stuck on the bottom. The tide came in and spilt over the bucket. That is a fantastic lamp base. The water and coral below came out really well. When the light shines on it and then gets turned off it will glow for a long time. Nice that you reclaim wood that would otherwise be thrown into the fire pit. The lamp shade is going to be interesting. Take care and stay safe.

May the Turnings continue to show growth and expression as you advance in time and location when you move. Rate this Base 12/10

    I envy the person who will get this lamp with that burl!

    The red fungus really stands out. I would have thought it would look wrong, but, again, this looks great.
