Fused Glass Barber Pole

The Men’s Room Arcade celebrates its 100th year anniversary.  Both John Burtis and I have been long time patrons of the hair salon so we decided to create and donate a unique fused glass barber pole to the establishment.  Our friend Joe Figard is a terrific woodworker and he made the wood finials and performed the installation – masterfully I might add.

The glass portion of the barber pole is made from two half-cylinders of fused glass glued together.  Getting the pattern to flow seamlessly across the two halves was a bit tricking – but the end result is fantastic.  The owner Cecil Poplin is very please with our work.

The barber pole is about 3 feet tall including 2 feet of the glass cylinder.
