Different views of The Allium base. This lamp is made by laminating thin strips of ash in a bending form followed by careful hand shaping. It's then dyed a dark emerald green and finished with a water based polyurethane. The open grain of the ash absorbs the stain beautifully and creates a multi-toned effect that is unachievable with paint.
