Description

A table lamp created from sections of oak stave recovered from old Scotch whisky casks. The outer surface of each stave is planed to remove the accumulated grime from decades of storing whisky in bonded warehouses around Scotland, then sanded to a smooth finish. Whisky barrel staves tend to have black streaks on them from interaction with the steel barrel hoops, & some remnants of these are normally left on each stave to recall the character that comes from the old casks. However, if you would prefer a clean oak finish, please request via a private message when ordering. The inside surface of each stave starts out blackened from the traditional charring process associated with Scotch whisky production. It is sanded to remove all loose charred wood & create a smoother finish, but the surface remains a dark colour with some variation of tone. The top & base inner cross structures of the lamp are formed from further sections of oak stave. A brass lamp holder is attached to the wooden base & fitted with ~3m black or gold power cable which includes a moulded UK 3 pin plug. The photographs show both options for the lamp height. The lamp holder can be mounted directly to the top of the wooden base, or the height can be extended by mounting the lamp holder on a 15cm section of brass tube that matches the lamp holder finish (as shown in the photos). The wooden base of the lamp shown is ~43cm tall, giving a height to the lamp holder of either ~44cm or 58cm. Please select an option when ordering. The lamp is approximately 27cm wide at the widest point. The wooden section of the lamp can be given a choice of finishes from the Colron range - clear lacquer on bare oak, or light oak, medium oak or dark oak stain, all overcoated with clear lacquer. The photos show clear lacquer finish & also medium oak finish. Please select an option when ordering. It is also possible to change the height of the wooden base using shorter or longer lengths of stave. This is not a priced option, but if you require the height altered in this way, please include a private message when ordering. Please note that the shade shown in the photographs is for display purposes only, & the lamp is sold without a shade. Table Lamp Made From Whisky Barrel Oak Staves | Type 2
