I’m the first to admit that I’m a bit of a hillbilly. Just a bit, don’t go crazy. I have indoor plumbing and all that. But I did make this boat prop candle holder for my folks’ lake house. I know a guy who knows a guy who got me an old boat prop. Actually, my husband just asked his pack rat (or “collecting”, if you want to be all PC and stuff) friend if he had a spare boat prop laying around. But it sounds much cooler to say I know a guy… Anyway, my wonderful husband buffed it and shined it up for me. I mod-podged pin-up pictures that I got from the internet to each propeller and then stuck a taper candle in the middle hole where one would ordinarily put a bolt. Voila! Instant lake house art – enjoy!
