This is one of my favorites. I wasn't sure if I could run the wiring through without breaking the surface of the main shaft, but everything came together perfectly.
Once the wiring holes were drilled and the piece was ready for waxing, I had to stop and just look at it. The colors that emerged were far better than I'd imagined. And the natural open knot in the base became the perfect spot to integrate the switch, minimal footprint, maximum function.
This was one of those pieces where everything just worked.
