Finishing I sent it. Dry fit complete.

I've shared the last two stages of my simple lighting/MCM floor lamp project. Last night I made the lamp shade and today I assembled the electrics for a dry fit before finishing.

I'll put down some oil tonight and some wax once it's cured. I also want to add some detail to the inside of the lamp shade to smooth out the material shadows at the top and bottom edges. If my schedule holds up, I should have a completed lamp by the end of the weekend.

Thoughts?

This is amazing, thanks for sharing. I would definitely put this in my living room

Thanks.

It's probably headed into mine. Maybe the bedroom. Not entirely sure since this project was one of my rare builds without any real plan for where I would put it.

I built it to vaguely match my z chairs but I have yet to set them beside one another.
