Step 4The Stand
Select a piece of wood that has an interesting look.
Smooth all of its edges with sandpaper.
Mark a line slightly above the height of the light bulb. Cut off the excess wood, and sand the cut.
Mark a hole at the top close to the center of gravity. Mark two holes at the bottom at each edge to provide most stability.
Select a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the rod, so the rod will press fit into the stand, without needing glue. Do a test fit on the off cut to make sure the hole is not too loose or too tight. Drill the holes with a drill press if you have one.
