Craftsman style lamp post. Post Made from cedar and light made from copper, cedar, and marabu. My wife dont like the bottom of the lamp, I dont like it much either. Think im going to make it out of cedar, wider and a little thicker with a profile instead of just flat. There is going to be another matching lamp on the other arm of the post, I just need to have the owners of the cabin tell me if they like the look of the light. Looks better then the old post at least.

Excellent job, the light and post look great together.
The surroundings look neat too, like your deep in the woods.

Very Nice. This would be great in any driveway. No fumbling with your keys and a close electrical to plug in your cars on a cold winter night.

Not sure about enough light to the shed. I havent been up there during the night, its a customers cabin. There is a second light that is going to go on the other arm of post…...the one light alone, looks to me like it would cast alot of light.

I like the lamp. If I were to try and improve on the base I would give it a taper, but then the light fixture should be tapered so the two elements of the lamp are balanced. Just my .02. It’s all about what the customer wants. Nice job!

A little update on the post and light. My customers loved the post, and they liked the light….although… They said that the light was a little big, and they were wondering if I could do something with the conduit running verticaly up the backside of the post. I said that I could try and dado out a slot the length of post upto the horizontals and cover it with a strip of cedar. Im not sure if this would even come close to code? Anyone have any ideas of hiding the wiring?
