Re: Lamp

Huh? While I hate to see beautiful trees cut down for arbitrary reasons, I grew up heating with wood in the midwest and we burned walnut, oak, etc... all day long. When I was a kid (I'm not that old now-31) a truly massive, straight walnut tree was damaged by a windstorm in our front yard. My dad thought it would be a shame for it to go to waste and called a local mom and pop sawmill (5-6 miles away) and asked if they wanted to buy this massive walnut trunk that was cut and ready to go. They told him it wasn't even worth their effort to come get it even if it was free. It ended up being a royal pain to deal with because of the bulk, but it ended up split and burned for heat eventually.

As for the clarinet, I equate turning one into a lamp with about the same level of taste as black velvet Elvis paintings, and entirely disrespectful. Why not build a glass-front display case to hang on the wall or something?
