Moving right along...a closeup of the wiring. I tried to keep it simple and clean. Nothing complicated here, The lights are wired in parallel and operated by three switches. This allows either the lower lamp or the upper lamps or both to be operated at any given time.
A thick felt is used to give the project a finished look.
Ah yes, the details. A paw print and...
...a dog bone are used as light pulls. Shopping at Amazon is a wonderful thing.
I really like how the green casts a soft glow which represents Holly`s character.
The green also goes well with the mission oak finish.
So with the doggy lamps completed it`s time to move on to something a little different. Notice the bear lamp in the background? That lamp was purchased in 2001 when I visited Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone Nat`l. Park. The original lamp shade was made of paper and fell apart many moons ago. I knew one day I would make a glass for it. Looking forward to that project, but first...
