Pisco Capel Bottle into Lamp - Tiki Carving

I found one of those bottles at Hi Time and just couldn't resist. I was going to buy some good rum, but just had to get the moai bottle. I made a lamp out of mine, too, but didn't paint it. That's a really good idea. I've noticed a few people on TC have used sand or gravel to weigh down lamps made out of bottles, since they tend to be top heavy. Has anyone out there tried using something like stone slabs or something to create a wider base? After I made my lamp, I saw a lamp at House of Tiki in Newport Beach made out of a Pisco bottle, too, but the fellow that made that one had used some kind of fake lava rock to make a fairly cool base. It had that resin feel like black CocoJoe's stuff does. Does anyone know about that, or how to make stuff like that?
