So, that familiar dilemma…..to turn or not to turn. That means I lose some cool inclusions. …… then again, not such a difficult decision. And I’m not one for regrets. One and one half garbage bags of shavings later, we have a salad bowl. 14.5"d x 3.5"h

I would say this is minimum height. In fact for me, I think if this is the height then I want the lamp to hug the bulb more. I have some smaller LEDs, but they certainly cast weaker light. I’ll have to give that a try.

They say patience is a virtue. One I don’t seem to possess today. Having lost 2 pieces on the finishing passes I decided to proceed with caution. Left these a bit heavier than I’d originally intended, about 8mm (just shy of 3/8"), I still decided I want to try them out as pendant lamps. Probably tonight. I don’t want much.

It was fun to notice the ash warping while I worked on it.
