While collecting shells along the Oregon coast I often wondered if the shell from a key-hole limpit would make a nice wick holder.
Here is my try at seeing if the concept worked. I used some modern hand tools to prove concept, then I'll make one with primative tools.
The lamp body is made form balack & white soap stone from sothern oregon, the wick is braided wild rose cordage, the shell is key-hole limpit, and the fuel is rendered bear fat.
I have really enjoyed reading all of your posts, I hope you enjoy.
