I'm looking for suggestions on how to attach the solid maple bottom and top=
. I was thinking of using a solid bottom and glueing on a ledger to my lam=

er. I don't want screws or glue on perimeter out of fear of expansion blow=
ing apart the base. Ideas?

Duh! LOL I guess you could leave the center of the base open. ;~)

screws... ;~)

Yeah I agree with you, Its the right way to make it.

It looks like the interior is large enough to get your hand in so perhaps
either "figure 8" plates
http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/figure8tabletopfastenerspk12.aspx or
blocks in grooves in the rails and screwed into the top would work...
similar to attaching a table top.

Never mind, I was just thinking the bottom. Use a long hollow lamp rod
to run the wiring through and use the nuts to hold both ends on.

That is a good suggestion, but it would only work for the top or the bottom and not both. Once you attach one or the other you can't get in there anymore.

But you only really need a solution for the top. The bottom can use a
ledger and screw as you suggested.

Put eyescrews on the inside of the top and bottom. Run a nice tight
bungee cord between them. Watch your fingers! Problem solved. :)

Could the top be held down in some way by the lamp shaft itself? They
make lots of different permutations of that hardware.

Over sized pilot holes and pocket hole screws. Been there done that.
Over sized holes to allow for wood movement.
