Table Lamp Pair for AZ Home

I made a pair of table lamps for the guest room in our home in Oro Valley, Arizona.

They are constructed of Walnut, Maple and Padauk. The finish is a coat of Zinzer unwaxed shellac followed by 4 or 5 coats of Deft Spray Lacquer – Satin and a coat of wax.

In the first picture the parts are just stacked, not screwed in final position. Included in this photo is a mesquite window sill that goes in the kitchen window (I like it so much that may do more of the window sills).

Second picture shows the bottom of the base and two of the caps. In the center of the base piece (maple) is a small hole that was drilled through both the upper (walnut) and lower (maple) base piece centers. An aligning pin was used during gluing to aid in aligning for clamping. After gluing a 1.125” hole was drilled through the base assembly to help run wires.

They were finished them just prior to our flight back to Washington State to spend time with our son’s family for Christmas.
