All finished. It provides much needed light in the room. I love how it turned out!
No I wouldn’t do it again.
I love it but it was a lot of work. It will be a family heirloom that I hope my kids will cherish. ( I think they will)
My father gave me a 36″ log that had been hand cut, and notched from my grandfathers barn that stood on the family property for probably 100 years. I’ve had it for a couple of years now, and trying to decide what to do with it. If finally hit me a couple of weeks ago. I needed a lamp for the living room.
Our decor is lodge style with deer and fish on the walls, so the best idea for my lamp was a carving with fish.
It took me about 2 weeks of time spent at night and weekends.
I did remember to take pictures along the way. These are the best pics I wanted to share.
Thanks for taking a look…
