• River Spey, a wall-mounted sculptural fly fishing rod lamp built from antique brass lamp parts on a long, charred, live-edge reclaimed wood slab. The slab runs horizontally across the wall with a brass reel and rod at one end, and a curved silver and brass gooseneck arm extending up from the slab to an Edison filament bulb at the top. A fully functional lamp by Random Brass.
  • Close-up of River Spey lit, showing the warm glow of the Edison filament bulb at the end of the curved silver and brass gooseneck arm. The dark charred edge of the live-edge reclaimed wood slab is visible alongside the arm, with the brass reel mechanism partially visible in the foreground. A sculptural fly fishing rod lamp by Random Brass.
  • Close-up of the Random Brass nameplate on the back of River Spey. The black plate is engraved in gold with "RIVER SPEY," the piece number "#0018," and the artist's name "SEAN DAY," along with the Random Brass signature logo. Mounted to the reclaimed wood base alongside a decorative brass finial.

This piece is one of Sean's all time favorites. He asked his neighbor, a professional fly fishing instructor, what term would do justice to the second piece in the fishing collection. River Spey, they said. A Spey cast is a specialized technique used on wide rivers where there's no room for a backcast. It's precise, practiced, and distinctly its own thing.

The name fits. River Spey has a different character than the rest of the collection — longer, lower, more horizontal. The live-edge slab is charred dark, running nearly the full width of the piece. The brass reel sits at one end, the gooseneck arm arcs out from the slab, and an Edison filament bulb glows warm at the tip. Turn the reel, turn the lamp on.

All antique lamp parts. Hand-carved reclaimed wood base. No welding, no bending, no solder. Wall-mounted.

 

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.
