Floor Lamp


This floor lamp was created from a pine tree that fell into the river at our Haliburton property. Blair cut the tree up and threw it onto the river bank. Years later as we were walking along the river's edge Blair spotted the log. The bark had peeled off and exposed a very unique burl that was transformed into this amazing floor lamp. The leather stitching has reniforced a cut that was made in the log years before. The base is made from wood wrapped in aluminum, with an LED light that does not produce any heat. It looks amazing when the light is turned on and glowing through the knots and stitching in the burl.
