I've lived with a standard ugly chandelier style lamp since we moved into this house, finally got something done about it. The copper is just rolled tube that I shaped, and I found some raw copper sockets. The Wenge was milled to just under an inch square for the frame and thin strips for the crosses. All of it was stuff laying around, lots of small "scrap" got used up. Real tungsten Edison lamps with coiled filaments round out the look. I *really* want to hang it with real manila rope and get rid of the chain, but chasing perfection is always the enemy of good enough. It's going to take scaffolding and real work to reach that ceiling (22-ish feet up).
Next up, some lamps based on a Samson post and big manila rope. They are kind of half done but I need to figure out some construction details.
