fence-slat lantern
chain-sawn slab lamp desk-leg desk lamp  
How can you just throw away those nice weathered fenceposts and slats? Papered with Tyvek envelopes for durability.   Very thin slabs of maple connected by cherry detailing and two cherry legs on one side. When lit, the grain and texture of the chainsaw marks is thrown off.   A more formal variation of the chainsaw slab, providing greater illumination.   The barbarians at NYU Law were throwing away all these big beuatiful oak library desks. Unfortunately, all I could cart off on my back was a few turned legs. Only the feet are mine.
