    They look great!
    love the weathered timber look.
    what type of shade would you put on something like that? Or do you just put a globe in and away you go?

    Cheers

    I don't normally supply the shades.
    where I buy the fittings from they recommend not to exceed two thirds the size of the base / largest diameter of the lamp.
    I think with getting a shade it is worth the price of the light shop shades as it really compliment the base

    Hi chuckie,
    I think your table lamps are awesome, well done
    they will look even better when the shades are put on!

    box to photograph your work and then the photos show
    outside the box
    Lamps ....fantastic.....well done , very impressive!
    Cheers smiife

    Very nice chuck1

    I really like the proportions of the vasiform - a shape that appears in a lot of traditional and aust colonial work.

    Regards,

    John
