My father-in-law could use a new floor lamp for Christmas, so with some persuasion from my wife, I decided to make one for him. Earlier in the year he had given to me (as a birthday gift) some rough cut hickory. This summer I planed it down and I was just waiting for the right project. After buying a lamp shade at Target and some electrical supplies from Lowe's, I had everything I needed to build the lamp.
It has a wooden handle connected to the pull chain of the light fixture to make turning the light on a bit easier and a little more unique.
