If members have images of lighthouses they have made would greatly appreciate seeing them. I recently made my first lighthouse. Thank you, wishing all many healthy New Years.

These are all bottle stopper light houses, made many years ago on my first modern lathe...a JET midi:
Ignore the angel and trees.
All very nice!
Do you use battery powered led candles to provide lighthouse effect?
Do you provide a light? Thank you.

No...the "light" was a faceted crystal jewelry piece hanging from a wire loop.
Do the 'towers' hold the bottles? Looks like they might be big enough for that, with the size of the light stopper. I love the looks of these.
But...but...I *like* the angel and trees!
In the second picture, the lighthouse on the right looks like it has eyes....it's watching you! All very nice (including the angel and trees).
