Of course what do I know, I have only seen one "Buckeye". It was in an RV park in Terre Haute Ohio and I had to ask what it was LOL
Maybe you could call it the "All Seeing Buckeye Lamp"

That is a nutty idea!

Tomorrow, I'll estimate how many of those lucky nuts I might need, and order up a batch while I can get them. I've already squirreled away a few pieces of buckeye burl wood from eBay (pictured). Now to just find the time to design and build that lamp.
(The secret room project, the workshop overhaul, and several honey-do's are already ahead in the high-priority queue. )

This week's selection of buckeye burl wood doesn't seem to have as many eyes. But some of it is very pretty nonetheless.
That guy has some exquisite wood!
Thanks Dennis!
