A Craftsman Floor Lamp
Just a quick peek, all the gory details were run through in a blog
Floor lamp build blog
About 5' tall and about 20 bf. Walnut, finished with Osmo Polyx.
Copper pipe with an ammonia/salt patina
Jatoba trim
Camphor burl veneer for the three "blocks" that stiffen the column
Base plate is stacked walnut frames with tapers
Lamp cluster holds two vintage style LED bulbs
Shade is amber mica
Thanks for looking in!

--Nathan, TX. Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.
What to say - another stunning project built with meticulous attention to detail. Your projects are always inspiring to me. Appreciate how you share your process and knowledge.

Thanks, I'm always trying BB!
DL, yep! I get the bf. of all the boards I pull from my stash. If they have cutoffs of the original width, I'll just deduct that otherwise it gets added to the total.
In the end it is wood used + scrap (10%-15% about)
Thanks Duck!

Well Mr. Splint, I've been thinking about words that could express my awe of this beautiful lamp, the best I can come up with is - 👍👍
Seriously, the amount of fine detail work that goes into this beautiful lamp is mind boggling. There are no hidden surfaces that do not need fine finishing, there are a million joints that all have to be perfect, the need to determine the perfect angles at joints & successfully cutting them, awesome to say the least. Beautifully done sir, beautifully done.
