Beautiful pieces Neil. Hypothetically speaking, if something like this ever came up on an auction to support The Fossil Forum, I would be taking my estwing to my piggy bank. Hypothetically.

Those are absolutely stunning. You're a true Craftsman.

Those are totally cool.  Do you slice the ammonites as well. or do you buy them pre-sliced?  

 

Thankyou, some I have brought already cut, then I grind them thinner to let more light through, the yorkshire ones I find, cut and grind myself

Regards

Neil.

These are the yorkshire ammonites (dactylioceras) in a lamp. Cut, ground down, then hollowed out to let more light through.

Thanks

Neil.

Wow!

 

I would love to have an ammonite window in my house!

Thank you, I’m going to make some panels for my internal doors, external windows would need to be encased in double glazing.

Thanks

Neil.

This one’s my favourite the white and red gives the lamp a really clean look.  Beautiful
