While used for Chanukah, you'll want to keep this wonderful menorah all year.

A thoughtful gift for a Jewish wedding or housewarming for someone special.

Handcrafted in the metal art village of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, from recycled steel oil orders drums through a fascinating and ingenious process where 55 gallon oil drums are first cleaned, by burning out residue.

Then using a lot of strength, the oil drums are flattened.

Using the flattened drum a a canvas, an artist then traces an existing stencil--generally cut out of a used cardboard box--with chalk. Using a hammer and two or three sizes of chisels, the design is then cut. After that, the piece is polished with a wire brush and given a coat of clear lacquer and left to dry in the sun.

On occasion, as the case with this menorah, the artwork is hand painted.
