Lamp - Reclaimed fencpost with radiobulbs, ceramic sockets, fabric chord, and vintage plug.
The post belonged to a fallen fence at my apartment building in San Jose. I found it burried in a tangle of ivy in the patio area behind the building. The post was outdoors for many years, so insects had chewed organic pathways into the wood.
After removing any nails, I used a planar on the sides and milled out the pathways for the chords and sockets. I used hardware found in the fencing aisle for authenticity. It has two loops on each end for hanging over a dining table or in a hallway. Unfortunately, I currently have no such place to hang it in my rented apartment.
