Here are some variations of an Accent Lamp I build. The design started as a display case for Beanie-Babies. The Wife wanted a few made & I decided to add stained glass or Mica & a 25w bulb. The glass panels are slid into slots on the uprights & can be replaced easily to match any decor or season. Due to the heat buidup in an enclosed lamp I use a reflecting foam backed insulator inside the top. But I just found 25w candle base flourescent bulbs that will eliminate that problem.
7-1-09 I’ve added a few more photos and a link to my signature at the bottom of this post to my Etsy store.

Tim I really love your lamps. Especially the first one…mahogany? And is that lead or brass? So far, everything you’ve posted has been exceptional…I guess another one to add to my favorites…lol Top notch work like always.

Jim, All of the wood in these lamps is White Oak. I have made them in Cherry, Mahogany & even Poplar( the beanie displays were made of poplar). The lead is copper colored with a liquid patina availible at any stained glass shop. You can also make the lead a soft black, looks good in some applications.

I would much rather see backlit stained glass than beanie babies any day. Nice work!
