This is my latest lamp, completed the week before Christmas 2011. Being somewhat clumsy, I managed to break the table lamp from our conservatory recently which left a gap that needs to be filled. So, I decided to make this reasonably large lamp to match the shade from the now smashed crackle-glaze lamp.
The pieces of wood used for this lamp were mostly collected from the Helford river and Falmouth bay area during a long walk earlier this year. We were not particularly on the hunt for driftwood but stumbled across loads on our walk and so I ended up with a rucksack full to carry around with me. The walk itself was great and the weather perfect; now we have a lamp to remind us of it.
The lamp will be a gift to my wife for Christmas so it's currently wrapped up awaiting the big day. Hope she doesn't look at the blog first! Not much chance of that I think!!
