diamond willow lamp
I finally finished my diamond willow lamp and need a lamp shade.  I would like a birch bark one.  I saw them in duluth a few years ago.  Anybody know of a place closer to the metro I could score one?
Here are a few picks.

Re: diamond willow lamp
nice.. did you use one of those drill bits on a fiberglass rod to get the cord through the center?

my brother and I have been drying some eastern red cedar, he bought the mill attachment for a chainsaw... we planked a few out very nice.. slow work but it's kinda fun making your own stuff..

nice job on the lamp.

Brother welded drill bit to a hunk of scrap iron he had.

I found a few very large diamond willows this last deer season.

Took 2 tries,  He can weld anything.  Drilled from both ends and got luck enough to meet in the middle.  If you look at the back picture you can see where we had to fix the hole.
