He was ordained back in 1980 and just stepped down, becoming a deacon emeritus. In honor of that I made this lamp/plaque combo. I used mesquite for both pieces. The lamp had some gnarly areas near the top that I filled with epoxy. The base was nearly perfect, needing only sanding and danish oil. The shade evokes a stained glass church window. The small plaque brought it all together. I haven't given it to him yet, but I think he will be pleased. Rick

Marc A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.
