The lucite panels are made using a mystery process that will not be revealed here....:) The wood area surrounding the lucite is all poplar and I carved the simple design at the top and bottom. The tiki are separate pieces with a v notch cut into the back so it can wrap the corner. When it was assembled, I used a scooped gouge to texture the entire lamp for that hand cut lumber look. The acrylic craft paint was mixed 50/50 with water so that when I stain OVER it , the stain permeates the paint for that aged crusty look. A little hot glue for the sea grass and then lightly hit it with a torch for a more aged look. Coat the entire thing with 3 coats of laquer, hand buff and your done. Spermy, thats a real nice thing to say.. thanks. [ Edited by: Monkeyman 2006-02-06 10:32 ]

The lamp is top-notch, fine work, that. You know, it would be a great compliment to the frame you made for me. Remember that one, it was a while ago, many carvings ago for you? Perfect match for that frame, perfect. Well done...again. midnite

I think I might like this one a little more. I noticed you don't have it on your website (not that I could afford it), but I'm a sucker and I have to ask-- did you sell it, and if so, how much did you get for it (I'd like to save up and get one commissioned) :)

I have never seen any lamp made by anybody anywhere at any time that was cooler or AS cool when lit up. Those sillouetes(sp?) are HYP-mo-ti-zing! I too just GOTTA start spending more time on "Creating"!! I have been seriously missing out!! Too bad a lamp like that can't be mass marketed (NOT so we could devalue its worth or undercut its price - rather, so THAT WE COULD ALL HAVE ONE!!!). How cool would that be if all our fine carvers' beautiful works could be as accessable as Witcos were in the day. Just pop by Sears and pick up a Bamboo Ben bedroom set, a Gecko display shelf and a Benzart tiki to go along with your Monkeyman frames and swag lamp. Ahhhhh, shopping made Paradise!

Just the bulb. I messed around with yellow, blue, white, and red and the green seemed to yield the best effect.
