This one is my favorite from the batch. It started as a scrap, a large break in the structure nearly made me toss it. But once I began cleaning it up, the wood revealed itself.
One side shows modest, uniform grain. The other is stunning: dark swirls and rich, mixed colors that only emerged after finishing. The piece also has a natural simplicity to it. The wood's shape creates a built-in hood that feels intentional, like it was always meant to be a desk lamp rather than something I forced into being.
Specs:
Location Found: 47°N 122°W
Sanded: 240 grit
Finish: Natural Bees Wax
Bulb: 12V E10 LED (replaceable)
Switch: Maritime-rated water-resistant boat switch, recessed into wood
Cord: Braided
Ten of ten.
