Our rustic lamps have been selling like crazy! To keep up with popular demand, we took 75 more rough cut red oak logs out of storage. Pictured above is 36 of the 75 we are preparing.

Stages To Create Your Rustic Lamp Bases
What you see here is really the second stage of a 4 stage process that your rustic lamps go through when you buy them. For the interested, here is a eagle eye view of what it takes to build the lamps you purchase from us:
- Stage 1 – Using dried and aged Red Oak logs, we buck them (cut against the grain) to fashion each into the appropriate dimension for your lamp.
- Stage 2 – Using a ban saw, we fashion the logs into a rough shape base
- Stage 3 – Bases are then ran through a table sander to ensure smoothness and to remove burs.
- Stage 4 – A clear coat lacquer is applied to preserve the natural beauty of the rustic lamp base.
