This is part 13 in a 14 part series: Another Floor Lamp

I've got a lot to learn about turning.   The last time I had any instruction was in wood shop class back in jr high school.   I'm retired now, so you can do the math - it's been a while.   Armed with my wealth of knowledge, I managed to get a little cocobolo knob turned for the rotary dimmer.



At least it's a step up from plastic.


Just sanded through 1000 grit.  Over time, the cocobolo should oxidize to a fiery orange and match the cherry a little better.


It's kind of rudimentary as far as knobs go, but it will do.
looks good to me !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Quite an improvement over the plastic one.
