Here is my latest fantasy pump, sort of a Rush “H”, lots of lathe work, all wood except the pipe up the middle. Makes a nice night light and globe holder. I have made a few pump replicas for friends, I am finding that some people want them for their man cave because the real pumps do not fit inside of our houses! Some of the lathe work for the top..... Wood Handle and lever...... Wood Turned Base....... Finished Rush H Replica.........

I'm not big into fantasy and reproduction pieces, but this work is extraordinary. I'd be proud to display one of those anywhere.

No pictures of work in progress, just didn't think of it. Just glued a bunch of wood together and turned it until it looked right.
