I found this piece of old lumber with very soft edges washed up on the beach at the Albany Bulb -- I like to imagine it came from a shipwreck many years ago. I dragged it to my van and brought it home until it figured out what it wanted to be. Later, when I was taking a welding workshop at The Crucible, I made a metal harness to hold it upright in my yard. I used various sizes of hole saw bits to create holes for the stain glass rounds, and routed the edges to make a lip for the rounds to snug into. You can see a small solar panel on the right side -- the spire is illuminated from the back when it's dark outside.
