DIY Project: Tree Lamp

So what do you do with the odd looking branch you found hiking three years ago that you can't bring yourself to throw away? How about a tree lamp?

Anna Laurent says that "making a lamp from a tree branch is easy, inexpensive, and requires few materials. The primary challenge is planning a design, and finding a piece of wood that works—the concept and wood need to be considered together, as different types and shapes of branches offer different possibilities and limitations. After that, your best resources are creativity, and, as always, Home Depot's wealth of accommodating hardware and staff."

So who else is going hiking tomorrow now?
