Thread: Wood Lamps

Hi there, i'm new here and well I study architecture, so i use a lot of balsa wood to make models, and i know thats not really hard woodworking, i mean balsa wood is super easy to use, very soft, but i don't have the tools needed to work with other kinds of wood.... for now my tools are a ruler and a cutter, and well as i said i study architecture so i made lots of models, but then i started to experiment with it, and discovered that it looks rather nice if you light it up, so i started making lamps with it, eventually i started taking commissions, and well i would just like your opinion on my work.

Btw since balsa is delicate i cover the interior with hard plastic... it stays out of the way while it gives structural integrity to the lamp.

( one of the first i ever made, for a friend of mine, fairly simple)





(One of my latest works, for a mazda fan, took about a month i think, took me a while to make the electric system work)



And another one... one of my favorites, it recently fell apart but i guess i could fix it haha.



And well as i mentioned i study architecture so i work with balsa a lot, here is my latest project



Thanks for reading :3
