lighthouse glass, ideas?

[lotus_esprit_s1]

Any ideas of what to do with this - It was found in an old barn being demolished, It is a brand new spare pane of glass for a lighthouse, pane is approx 90cmx90cm, 10mm thick and slightly curved to fit in the lighthouse glass frame latticework. It was about to be chucked in a skip but I recognised what it was as in another life I did some work on a lighthouse and saw a rack of similar spare panes.

Photo shows it as found but it has cleaned up very well; I have been trying to think of a way to reuse or repurpose it. I have a new build I am about to embark on an wondered about incorporating it somehow into the build,

any ideas welcome!

Make a nice frame for it (will protect the edges as well) and have a light house image etched (with grit blasting) into the glass. Nice show piece maybe.

Mount it above a doorway or porch entrance - if etched would be even nicer.

This, and maybe experiment with incorporating LEDs in the frame so that the glass & etching is side-lit - a bit like so

Why not make a boat from driftwood and use it as a sail?

I do think this is the best idea, winch boy has an almost complete 1934 Royal Enfield that started when he bought an incomplete engine at a car show. Just start collecting bricks

My first Silver Hawk started out as an oil tank that came with a trio of dismantled Silver Arrows 18 years ago, took me 10 years to gather all the parts and build the machine (1930 600cc OHC V4) then after riding it for going on for three years HMRC took a dislike to me and it had to go, 3/4 of the way to replacing it!
