So good! Thank you for sharing the process.

[@sostoopid5668]

It looks good tho I have one question, how about the after maintenance? Like when the light is no longer able to turn on, how to change it then?

[@Panicmicelf]

I like the Lord of the Rings sounding music and I love this idea. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@conorlynch1998]

When one of those diodes burns out... Ooof. Amazing piece for sure

[@Stthomasmommy]

You have combined my two favorite loves - driftwood and (more recently) epoxy! The best part by far is that turbo shaft!!! Whaaaatttt?? All this time I have been wishing for a tool like that but had no idea they existed. Thanks so much for sharing! I’m dying to get a turbo shaft now though so I can do one of these!!! Beautiful work!

[@EpoxyWood]

[@stevechance4422]

Love that piece.Was the wood dried out other than from being outside in the sun?

[@EpoxyWood]

It was already very, very dry when I found it 👍

[@stevechance4422]

I found a small piece of wood that a beaver chewed both ends into and chewed all the bark off of.The chew marks have left a beautiful pattern all over it.I was wondering if I could coat it with resin without first sanding it??I found it several years ago and it is very dry to the point of cracking open badly.I thought to fill the cracks with some color and then clear coat the whole thing.

[@EpoxyWood]

@@stevechance4422 It is difficult to fill in the cracks with colour without sanding, so if you want to keep the pattern as it is now - coating it with resin (using a brush) is a good idea. Alternatively - if you do not want a gloss finish - it is possible to mix resin with acetone (1-1 ratio) and coat it in exactly the same way (using a brush). It will stabilise wood and hopefully prevent it from further cracking.

[@stevechance4422]

Thanks so much for the information. I am definitely open for suggestions.

[@tinacox7442]

That is genius

[@hktdiycrafts7241]

[@tinacox7442]

[@WardWeather]

Love it! My only concern is the lights would go out eventually I would use a clear tube so if and when a light goes out I can replace it. Awesome job anyways 😊

[@EpoxyWood]

Thanks Jason, good point, it's definitely doable 👍🏻

[@VIPtotheVIP]

[@jackiejackson935]

Love your work

[@johnthompson8204]

Sorry if I missed it, but what did you use for the stand?

[@achardjc]

i am curious as to why you sprayed clear varnish on the glass stones before adding to the driftwood

[@EpoxyWood]

colours are more vibrant and have more depth

[@Gunit-xd1ll]

When led srerp fuze, how can i change??

[@timothyproffit2026]

How much would someting like this sell for?

[@shaileshmd71]

How did you prevent the Epoxy leaking through the driftwood end towards the base? I just made a lamp following your tutorial. The Epoxy drained from the LED conduit and made a mess on the carved wood base I had made. I could not find the glass stones on Amazon. I did find 1" pyramid shaped glass nuggets.

[@EpoxyWood]

9:55 - I used epoxy glue to prevent leaking. Hot glue would be good as well. I did not use a large amount of epoxy, I probably had no more than 2mm at the bottom of the carved out section, so in my case nothing leaked as the hole I had drilled for the base was above the epoxy layer. But even it it wasn't, epoxy glue is best to prevent leaks. I bought the stones here in the UK, there is a link in the description. Not sure if they are available outside the UK. If not, 1" pyramid shaped glass nuggets sound great too!
