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.

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!
