I have a confession – The first lamp I posted was actually the second one I built. Here is the prototype I built out of oak from the big lumber store (I didn’t want to waste my walnut on it in case it didn’t turn out so good). I posted this because I had some close up pictures showing the joinery. It now resides on my son’s desk. I plan to build one more in walnut so I have a pair in walnut for the living room and then on to something different.
To learn more about how the lamp was constructed and sources of materials, please visit http://www.randallprice.com . There you will find a blog about the lamp assembly and a resources page for the source of plans and materials used to build the lamp.

Awesome lamp. I was wondering the same thing as kickknack. How did you run the wire up the back and across the top?
I think if I were to try it I would cut the board in half, dado out one side of it and glue the board back together so you have an enclosed channel. You don’t need a huge space for a 2-wire wire.

Very clean lines and nice joinery. What is the shade material?
