Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Finally got around to replacing the electrics on this. The trouble with these types of spotlight is one can't replace the bulb. This old lamp lasted well past the 2500 hours it's supposed to.
Like a lot of things, it grew old, flickered and died.:hit:p:lol:

This one got damaged in the move from Catalonia. I've repaired the woodwork and I'm waiting for new electrics. I thought I brought a box of electrical bits back with me but it's gone missing.:confused:

This one was an unfinished lamp. Made a new base for it. Still got a bit more to do on the lead inlay (the black lines/shapes on all are carved out and filled with lead paste).

Going to be an olive and tapas tray. A present for a friend. I have to do the rough work outside at my eldests and there haven't been many afternoons dry enough.

Stunning work, @Shadrach!

What kind of wood? I assume that's all hand carved? It's beautiful!

The top lamp has always been my favorite of the work you've shared. It has its own kind of contrapposto. That's great you have a place to work on more pieces.

I think it's Alzina Surera (Cork Oak) and the base is plain Alzina (Holm Oak).
