Dude. Dude, dude. AWESOME lamps. they keep getting better and better! I LOVE the carved/painted wood on the sides of thelamps - they give them a very old school look to them. Those cut bamboo bottoms look like a pain inthe ass to do, but sure turn out looking REALLY nice!

Thanks guys!
Monkeyman- Just tryin' to keep up!! Your stuff and everybody else's is blowing my mind!
Hewey- Thanks man... every compliment is more inspiration.
Polynesiac- It's way more fun working playing around with wood/paint for the sides of the lamps, but definitely more time consuming.
Queen K- Can't wait to see pics of 'em in your yard after you hang 'em!
