January 21, 201016 yr Here's a lamp I made a couple weeks ago. The blade is made up of 1/8 steel rod. The handle is Ash and Purple heart. I also made a Kwando lamp for my brother that's about 6 feet tall for Christmas but don't have any good pictures. This is one of the designs I was thinking about making for some shows but it's pretty labor intensive with each piece spaced 1/8 inch. Guess we can modify that a little and see how it comes out. Bill

March 6, 201115 yr Author Thanks guys! Phil, I put a shade that comes within 1/2 inch from the top of the handle so it looks good like it is. Thanks for the comments, I know what you mean about covering up something you spent time on. Bill
