Leif Lamp

Here’s a fun project! This little guy was a custom order for a local Calgarian! She had a few very specific requests for a lamp, which included USB charging, a shield and he had to be standing to name a few. Now I’m not going to tell you how many times I remade the shield until I was happy (3 times) and the base (2 times)….definitely not telling you! At the end of the day I couldn’t be happier with how he turned out, and since he was a custom creation and needed a name, I let his new owner pick the name! I’ve filmed a YouTube video on making Leif, but I haven’t release it yet. In the meantime if you’d like to find out how to make a lamp you can watch me build the Toby lamp

Base and Shield Made from Black Walnut - Finished with wipe on Poly and Shellacwax Cream respectively
