Turned Wood Lighting - Classically Elegant

Marilyn Turned Wood Table Lamp
The art of wood turning is a form of woodworking that originated over 3000 years ago, initially by the Egyptians who created a two person lathe whereby one person would turn the wood using a system of ropes while another would carve shapes and objects into the wood using various sharp implements.

In today's high tech world much of the basic principles in wood turning remain constant. Although more modern face plate or spindle lathe systems are now in use along with carbon steel or powdered metal turning tools, a skilled artisan is typically still at the center of the action and the most important element to producing beautiful turned wood lamps. It's the artisans keen eye, steady hand and vision that makes the wood turning process...well, go round.

So what makes these turned wood lamps so great? In addition to the classic, elegant appearance, these lamps are crafted form solid wood , and unlike mass produced machine crafted lighting which are typically made of veneer, the turned wood lamp is crafted from a solid piece of wood and thus will offer years, if not generations of enjoyment. Sedgefield by Adams has been producing turned wood table lamps and turned wood floor lamps since the early 1950's. Their product line features some of the most highly sought after, top quality, and simply gorgeous lighting available in the market today. So if you are looking to give your home décor a boost of confidence then check out these timeless creations.
