I created this rustic wood burned birch pillar lamp with my husband. We enjoy creating home décor projects together. This piece started as a craft fail. I had planned to use this birch pillar differently. We ended up drilling a large hole in the center of the top and bottom of the pillar. Not happy with either hole, or the original project design, my husband suggested that we use the pillar as a lamp base.

Step 1: Drill through the birch pillar. Insert the lamp socket and cord. Drill a small notch in the bottom of the pillar to contain the cord so that the lamb base sits flat.

Here's a list of the supplies I used:
Walnut Hollow 3" Birch Pillar
Solid Bronze Lamp Socket
Rotary Switch Lamp Cord

Step 2: Use the large heart from the Carved Love Cling Stamp Set with brown ink to transfer a heart onto the front of the birch pillar.

Step 3: Use the Walnut Hollow HotMarks Tool (available from Michael's) to burn the stamped design into the wood.

Step 4: Stamp initials into the center of the heart with brown ink and the Funky Alphabet Clear Stamp Set. Use the Walnut Hollow HotMarks Tool to burn the initials into the wood.

Step 5: Use the Walnut Hollow HotMarks Tool to add a special date to the pillar. I added our wedding date.

Step 6: Add a decorative light bulb to the socket. This light bulb is low wattage and is on in this picture. The word "LOVE" glows red! I purchased this bulb here.
