Old Piano converted to Fireplace Mantle with Mirror

     A month ago I had a customer bring me the pieces of her old piano that had been in her family since the late 1800's - she asked me to make it into a mantle with electric fireplace.  I also made a mirror using the piano's label at the top.  
     Below are some before and after photos. 

     Last summer I had another customer, who was moving back to Ontario and couldn't take her piano - she brought me the dismantled pieces and asked me to make it in to a chandelier for her - I used the piano keys and misc. inner parts - see below.

Chandelier made from horse powered treadmill flywheel

     I had this 5'-0" wide flywheel that came from and old horse powered farming treadmill and made it into a rustic chandelier. 

Below is an image of a similar wooden flywheel used in my chandelier above.

     There's twenty-one lights hanging from the wheel - I uses mason jars for the globes. I had my nephew up to help with the wiring of the fixture.  I painted the wiring and box to blend in with the wheel. 

     Wish i didn't have such a busy back ground that's not so busy to  show up the lamp better. But its over the top.
