Made some custom lighting at Eventide while had a couple of rain days.
One was from a beautiful old lantern I bought from a deceased estate years ago and one was dead branch off the largest gum tree on the sanctuary which I carefully modified to take the modern lighting safely.
Even used an old rail tie from the old Hobart train line to hang the lantern.
I really love bringing old items back to life and using them in respectful ways.
Things years ago were made with passion and pride.
If any historical folks could share some info on the lantern that would be really interesting. Some close up photos below.
