<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2></TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=2>These two wall lamps are for the renovated house of my daughter Karin.
She lives together with her boyfriend in an old small farmhouse with a thatched roof in the Betuwe (the fruit area of Holland)
This thatched roof was in a very bad condition, and we pulled down the thatched roof last may of this year.
But now they have a brandnew thatched roof, with on each side of the roof three roof windows. Was there already a couple of times to do some carpentry work upstaires, and has more work with designing (and maybe to built) a new staircase. Anyway the sleeping room is finished now, and the two wall lamps gets a nice place at the wall of the sleeping room.
Yeah daddy had and has to take care for these two turtle doves.
They marry next year...))), more work for me in the near future.
The two wall lamps are made out of yellow pine, the lamp shades are segmented and with a thin wall (3mm) and are translucent.
Here some pictures ( provisional hanged on the cabinet in my own room)
Cheers, Ad (comments are always welcome)

Ad, your imagination never ceases to surprise me. Very well thought out and "turned out" beautifully.
