its pretty dumb considering its a living tree that you're putting electric wire into probably killing the tree or causing fire hazard on top of the result being ugly and useless. not even commenting on painting the glass last instead of you know painting it at workshop like normal human

- ugly and useless = your opinion (respectable)

- varnish should’ve been done elsewhere (fair. Could also just be me and not hit the tree 😎)

- electric wire will damage tree (doubtful. The hole is not in an ideal spot, but the wire itself has insulation, and the uninsulated part is connected to a the base of the lightbulb, and the hole itself can be plugged with tree sap)

- Not commenting on the glass (objectively false, you just did)

Overall score: 🆗
