Lithophane Mantle

Post by Cauldron »

I'm in the processing of creating a mantle for my living room that houses a lithophane with dimmer of a timberwolf. Attached is the mantle ready to have the light source and lithophane mounted. I can't decide if the timberwolf paw prints on the panel are a bit too cheesy for me but it's a practice piece so I guess I'll see what it looks like when it's done :)

It appears the paw prints will be appropriate for the theme-decor alright.

I’m looking forward to seeing photos of the completed project!

I'll definitely post when its done. I quit using pre-purchased LED light panels and have gone on to using controllers and LED ribbons so that I have more options in both size and shape of the lithophanes like the ellipse machined in the mantle.

Thanks to wikipedia, I now know what a timberwolf is.
Wikipedia wrote:Timberwolf, a Secret Service codename for president George H. W. Bush
I do agree with Michael, but I have to admit I didn't recognize President Bush paw prints at first glance.

I believe he wore special shoes to disguise his footprints :)

This makes sense as it's a Secret Service issue.
