I can't find the camera (my daughter's wedding shower was this past weekend) so I'll post a pic later. I took an antler and made a washer that's about a quarter inch thick and I used it on my stabilizer. I put a Doinker at the end of a homemade extension that I machined from aluminum and carbon arrows. The washer is between the doinker and the extension.
That sounds like a cool idea

A lamp I made. The electrical wire runs all the way up thru the antlers!

I like that!....I think I've got enough antlers laying around to make one too. I would go good in my office. All the hardware could be found at a local hardware store......hmmm, yet another project for BigJ to start and never finish.I think I'll finish my euro mount first then tackle this one....thanks for posting it Magic and a job well done.

Here are the pictures that I promised.

I put all my sheds that I found that particular season into a storage bin and write the year of its finds. Then I put it away in storage.

By pleasing my wife this way.. she in turn remains more creative when it counts...

bigj71, If you want a real cool looking shade, find a knotty pine board and rip it real thin. the light will glow thru the knots. I was going to do it with that lamp but I found a worm eaten board and decided to go that route.
