The big difference in this lamp is that the slats come off the right at an angle.

This means the circles have to be bigger. I cut the pieces out of a single sheet of birch and then stated the wood with an walnut stain.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-591\" src=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_off.jpg\" alt=\"lamp_2_off\" width=\"900\" height=\"1010\" srcset=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_off.jpg 900w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_off-267x300.jpg 267w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_off-768x862.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-590\" src=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_on.jpg\" alt=\"lamp_2_on\" width=\"900\" height=\"1044\" srcset=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_on.jpg 900w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_on-259x300.jpg 259w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_on-768x891.jpg 768w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lamp_2_on-883x1024.jpg 883w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/>I have some longer bulbs coming later this week so I might change the bulb. The big problem with this one is that it is actually to big to go through the bottom hole &#8211; meaning I have to take some of the slats off to change the bulb.
