I'm looking for anyone that may have some old broken globe lenses laying around that they don't value highly.

I have this idea to turn a few old burl knots into globe bases / lens holders BUT then a whole lens wont go into them so id need lenses that are broken semi-evenly & not just shattered.

I plan to try to glass-glue them along the edges of the break or maybe try an injection auto repair type glue after mounting.

It's just a goof project but if it works out ill have some cool all wood curly-wood lightable globes.

if they go cheap enough id try them, but they look pretty shattered. Idealy (in my best dreams) I'll find a couple cleanly broken in half or 3 pieces.

Look in the for sale section. There is an ad for gas globes for sale. He has two that are clean breaks. Hope this helps!
