"Marlin"

Where Catch and Release and River Spey read as freshwater pieces — burl wood, patinated brass, intimate scale — Marlin goes offshore. The reference is a deep-sea rod: built for something bigger, rigged for a longer fight.

The reel configuration is different here, engineered to evoke the larger, heavier reels used in deep sea ocean fishing. Same operating principle as the rest of the collection — pull the cord, the lamp turns on — but the feel of it is distinct. This one has more weight to it, visually and physically.

Hand-carved reclaimed wood base. All antique lamp parts, assembled without welding, bending, or solder. Wall-mounted. The third piece in the fishing collection, and the one that takes it out to sea.

The reclaimed wood base of this piece was sourced from Natural Kinships, a small family-owned mill in Bend, Oregon. The family — a father and two sons — fell trees themselves, mill them at their own shop, and turn them into countertops, tabletops, and live-edge slabs. Sean has worked with them for years; over time, they began setting aside cuts specifically suited to his work. Every Natural Kinships base carries a piece of that story. The base of this piece is the other half of the base of "Battle of Endor".
