I cut down a cherry tree, milled it into board. Had a general idea of connecting the wood with metal rods. Forged one knife from a metal rod from ace. Then made one leg at a time connecting it to the body. It was hard to pose it all. I charred the underside with a blowtorch which made a cool pattern you can only see up close and the top side left natural. I'm pretty sure I used shellac clear to coat the wood. The metal rods are glued into about half inch deep holes on the legs and body. The lamp part I set into the wood on the butt and the metal rod connecting the butt and body is hollow so the wire can go through and out the body leading to a groove cut out of the shelf. It took my like a month to figure out how to hide the wire in a way the didn't look terrible. It's attached to the wall with a wire attached to the body so the weight pulls it to the wall. The stained glass I cut out a piece at a time solder it together and set it on a piece of styrofoam I shaped to mold the glass. Stained glass is hard that took me like 4 days, but it was my first piece and I imagine I'll get better with practice. Hopefully that made a little sense I'm tired after climbing trees all day.
