I had an idea for a lamp quite some time ago now, bought the electrical bits, then paused for far too long; so the other day I decided to give the lamp idea a go.

The rivers I picked are ones we both know – so there’s the Eden, the Ellen, the Trent, and the Doubs. The wood used is Cherry for the sides, and Elm for the base, final size is 37cm high, 15cm wide.<\/p>\n
