G'day
This lamp incorporates a couple of idears I have been playing with .
The shade is of camphor laurel.250mm D x 220mm H and about1mm thick +/- 1/2mm
I didn't make it thin enough to start off with and it moved a bit before I got it down to the size I wanted , hence the variation in thicknes . I learnt quite a bit when making this and the next one will be better when a suitable bit of wood comes my way .
The stem is a coolabah slab that I got from Greg Ward at the last Sydney GTG.It's about 380mm high x 25mm thick . The biggest challange was boring the hole because it was very hard .
Finish is DO
The light inside is a 20w low energy bulb .
