RUSTIC WOOD LAMPS

The lamp idea was my dear friend's prompt to make a gift for Christmas instead of buying something... So I started thinking about what I could make since I love working with wood. I spotted a piece of firewood I set aside and was using as a stand for my cell phone. It was an elm log that had a lot of detail left from elm beetles that had lived under the bark... I then searched through my leftover lumber scraps, from custom fabrication jobs and came up with the idea for a lamp base, something nice and simple that would compliment the elm wood lamp stem.
