Title: finished another lamp
Post by: Antlerking on June 17, 2010, 02:02:38 PM: I used elk sheds this time and also switched up and used some old rope to make it look a little rustick. The wire is ran all the way thru the center of the sheds, that took a while.

One of these days you are going to come home and that box-o-horns will be gone. Your wife told 509er and I to come get them out of the way. :chuckle:

I pass my shed pile every night when I put the kids to bed and think "one day I'm gonna make some lamps/chandeliers"... Never have gotten around to it...
