stop.end 4,079 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Had a few hours spare Saturday and Sunday and had some antlers and driftwood in the shed, and had seen a few faux antler lamps in the likes of dunelm and other places so decided to have a crack at one myself using all natural materials.... hmmm not as easy as you'd think to getting antlers to sit what with weights being imbalanced and what not..so after a bit of swearing and super glued hands this is the finished article... 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice and not so garish as ginger beards If your planning on making more may I suggest you get a hot glue gun much better for tacking things in place than super glue and your fingers will look better afterwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I,be done a few clocks from log biscuits and it’s 50/50 if they split, a good trick if it does is to use a coloured two pack epoxy to fill the cracks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
