    Thanks for the comments
    Spankinpigeon.I did a survey of commercial lamps in the house and this was the average height.If you make them too low they don't throw enough to read by.

    Like the style and shape Ted I got to wondering how it may have looked with alternate colours Light/dark

    Hi Ted, Nice job. Would have been interesting to have laminated the base with a dark and light wood to match the spindle? Then you would have two lamps to match a different decor.

    Laminating a couple of different timbers together for the base could be an interesting effect .You could have the back and front different or the left and right different or a combination of both.
