Older homes featured quality components throughout. Even buried in the walls beneath a layer of plaster was strips of pine lath, the likes of which today would be designated as choice cuts of the tree. In fact, pine milled for lath in the 19teens could easily have been growing for over 100 years, making the discarded sticks coming from a tree that probably was alive in the 1700's.
This lamp is mostly pine, but there is an ash shelf, bearing housing and counterbalance visual cover, a walnut tobacco stick stabilizer at the base and counterbalance wrap and two old window weights that serve as the 7 1/2 lb. counterbalance. There is a small piece of vintage poplar at the top of the legs and the base of the bearing. Finally, there is a small section of rebar on the underside of the arm to offset the ash visual cover, which was an afterthought.
Knobs lock the tilt, up to 30 deg. up or down; the light arm can rotate infinitely to any position. The arm swings a 6" LED 850 lumen dimmable adjustable white 2700 K - 6500 K light that is 65 W equivalent, but 13 W actual wattage; the fixture life is 45 years. The light adjustment selector switch is beneath a hinged door on the top of the light.
The light is 18 lbs, 67 1/2" tall at the spire, light arm holds the light 35" from the bearing and the circular ash shelf is at 21 3/4". The dimmer switch and cord are on the "back" leg.
This was a pleasure to make; this light will serve you well.
