Have to say the shape of the floor lamp didn't appeal to me but the rest of the stuff was really nice, in particular the desk ... and the gumbo of course!! can we have a word about your finishing method?? Always interested to hear how people achieve the final look...

The bottom of the lamp is 10x10 an a 8x8 an a 6x6 then a 4x4 square boards 3/4 thick glued together . The 6x6 and the 4x4 have a square hole through them the size of the post 2x2 sq. ...Drilled a hole in the 6x6 square for the wire.
The post is a 2x2 x54 inches long. I made it by ripping 1 1/4 strips from some 3/4 stock to form the 2x2 post.
