I have wanted to throw out our old metal lamp and get a wood lamp for a couple years now. I searched forever to find a large wood spindle to make a lamp. I found a few online {used and new}… but they were very expensive and more than my budget. So… I had to find a way to make my own wood lamp that would stay within my small budget. I did a little searching and found these great sofa legs at Lowes… $7 each… I can handle that!
