New Base


I have become too attached to the Oreo cookie base. I didn't want to drill a big hole in the center of it. It's now serving as a platform for my glass frog. Besides, I needed a taller base for my bulb fixture to rest in and so I created another base but out of two different woods. There's still a contrast between the two woods, but it's not as extreme as the last base.

The hole drilling was a little tricky since the base is so tall and so I had to drill both sides and also chip some wood away so the bit could go deeper. It turned out well though. All I need to do now is sand a little, lacquer the wood, glue the pieces together, and cut a little notch in the bottom of the base for the electrical cord to pass through.
