Bill, That did turn out really beautiful. I would have a hard time selling something like that.

I think you're right, Bill - it's a keeper. Beautiful piece of wood and you did a great job on the turning. I also like the shade you chose for it, or did you get a little help in that department?

I really like it, Bill. Mom has been after me to turn one for her. Hopefully this will inspire me to get off my duff and get it done.

WOW! The spalting on that pecan is wonderful! Looks like a premium piece of olivewood.
You did a great job turning it too. [^]

Absolutely beautiful. Nice piece of wood. It would be hard to let it go. Except for the right price. Turkhunter

Too many projects, too little time.
Beautiful lamp. You did a wonderful job on it.
Yep, another project added to my list, if I can find room at the end to add it in.

That is a great looking lamp, if you had some Norfolk Pine you could make a lamp shade and the light would shine througn it if you soak it in polly. Aloha.

I agree with others. That is a great looking lamp!
Lets see - a good pen goes for $100 -$200. Proportionally the Lamp should be worth $5,000 at least!

Bill,
That is a great piece of wood. Beautiful lamp... you're right to hang on to it.. until the right person comes along with the right size wallet...
What size is the lamp..how tall.. beautiful (oh, I said that already)
There's a character up in Coker Creek that had a piece of spalted pecan.. about 6' long x maybe 12 x 1 1/2 thick... he brought it down to the local art gallery for the lady there to mount a frame around the board... he used it as a mounting for a hugh sword he made... I haven't seen the finished product, but I saw the board at the art gallery...it was spectacular... just like the wood you used on your lamp.
