It's been too long since my last giveaway- Winner Announced

What is the body made of? Loving the fresh look compared to black

Cut from a seasoned-on-the-tree Bay Laurel Burl cap. The tree had been down(roots rotted) for most of a year before I cut a few of the burl caps off. They look like 3”–12” warts and this tree was covered with them. Not exactly rare but to find one with this many, this close to home and on an already down dead tree was an opportunity not to be missed. After the initial sanding/sealing some walnut stain was applied to darken it a bit and increase the contrasts. Both this and the unknown root ball that went into the contest light are very tough materials, much more so than Redwood Burl. Anything can be damaged but I think it will retain good looks better than ano. It’s pretty well infused with epoxy resin, the first few coats being thinned with iso for better penetration. Lacquer looks great but isn’t nearly as durable or chemical resistant and needs to cure for weeks before you can sand and polish it. Polyurethane is another choice but I’m happy with this so far.

Very nice, I have had interest in SK68 style lights lately.

Ooooh… me, me, me… I’d like to be included, please.

Thanks and Happy New Year, Rufus.

You’ve put a lot of work into that light, RBD. Looks beautiful! The winner is going to be one lucky individual.

Wow, cannot Imagine you give this beauty away, especially with alle the time and effort youve put in!
Nevertheless, count me in!

It looks to me that I should use it to smoke some very fine fragrant tobacco.

And I’ve quite smoking about a decade ago!!!
