    Default Clay Frog Oil Lamp

    Me and a buddy of mine have been making some primitive clay pottery the last few weeks, and he made this realy cool oil lamp shaped like a frog. You pour olive oil in the back and the wick hangs out its mouth. All done the old way!

    My wife's uncle was posted in China during WWII and he sent home a three legged bronze frog (Don't ask. I have no idea) oil lamp that works just like that. Nice job.

    Awesome job bro I like oil lamps though they donot provide enough light for my fading vision I do believe they add an atmosphere to camp that I just can't seem to do without
