I had a blast making this one-of-a-kind custom lamp. It started with two great water skis that all had the same style and arch up top to make the sides and a really classic water ski with worn out white and red paint lines. It even had the word "CUSTOM" that I incorporated into the bottom board.
I don't know why but I knew I wanted this really tall retro, chrome flashlight to be the center of the lamp. And below is a great place to store things away like a jar of small items, or the remote controls, home phone or just about anything that would be nice to have for quick access. And, you know that I have to incorporate old measuring sticks or yardsticks whenever I can. They go with everything! The new, finely textured lamp shade played right into the whole vibe I was looking for.
