Here are a few pics of a lamp I just finished for my nephew. He recently rented his first house and his theme is camo.
The riser is from a bow I was making. My air hose deflated and the belly veneers had a gap top and bottom on the riser fades. I cut the limbs off and shaped the riser as usual. Added an old shed and mounted them on a rock. It actually came out better than I expected!

I'd buy one. Would look great in the cabin!

I think that looks awesome!

Can you explain what you did with the power cord?

Good reason to hang on to those old, broken, or delaminated garage sale bows.

Thanks guys! Joe, I drilled a hole through the riser and rock. I used a 1/4" drill bit 12" long. I rotated the table on my drill press vertical and clamped the riser to it. I centered the bit in the limb and carefully started to drill. I could only drill a few inches because that's all the travel I had with the table so low. I then drilled as far as I could using the hole as a pilot and pushing the riser up with my hands. Then I reclamped the riser other end up on the table. I used a laser line to line the bit up with the hole I just drilled the best I could. To my surprise, the holes lined up the first try!

Mike, that sounds like quite the process of drilling. You did a bang up job. Next riser you mess up give me a call
