So apparently I'm terrible at taking photos of my "quick" projects still.
I had some "scrap" 6/4 maple and 4/4 walnut laying around and decided to make a matching... or at least somewhat similar table lamp to my floor lamp to put on the subwoofer that I use as an end table.
I planed down the walnut to ~1/2" and into 1-1/2" wide strips, the sides run the entire length while the top/bottom are about 1" long or so so that I didn't have to drill the entirety of the block for the cord. Here I'm using a ton of clamps to glue this all up.
Trimmed up the excess and put it on the stand to see about proportions, already it's looking like the shade ring is a bit too small in diameter...
yeah that just looks funky
Better... but still not quite right. Build process for the shade was the same as my floor lamp
This picture looks actually pretty decent but in person it just felt... "off". I ordered a bigger ring but used it as is and every time I walked into the room it didn't seem right so I'm glad I did change it. Also I did away with the walnut base and just routed a small channel for the cord to go out the back.
This is the end result, fairly quick project if I had the 14" rings to start with
