That's gorgeous! Did you bend the glass for the neon yourself? I have never seen such a light in my life before, impressive!


Antique? It's new to me.

Tallrick, No, I had a sign shop bend the tube and I put it on the frame. I had to make the piece which holds it to the wall, and I cut out the horse and painted the whole thing! Thanks, John.

You cut the horse yourself? That's a really nice job. Is the white detail painted on or an adhesive material? Perhaps you silk screened it?

Glad to help there John. Trust me guy's the pics dont do it justice at all. It looks great in person. The horse is all painted no decals on it at all.

Wow Oh Wow!!! Made in Portland, Oregon. That's in my back yard. Of coarse I have a 250 mile backyard.
Good to see it back to life.
