Just finished my first lamp.
The wood is monkey puzzle (kindly donated by a fellow member, thanks again Geoff) and the finish is 2 coats of sanding sealer followed by a couple of coats of Mylands friction polish.
Hope you like it - I'm very happy for a first attempt, but all comments welcome as to how it could be improved.
One question - when boring the central hole with an auger, should the lathe speed be fast or slow?
