My Dad is turning 80 in a couple of weeks and he is "retiring" from being a deacon. 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.

Nice work all the way around! I have a friend who turns and I am always impressed by the results.

Thanks for the compliments! I can hardly wait to give it to him. He is very sentimental, so this ought to get him in the feels. smile

He is going to love that. Great looking lamp.
