Kyoto lamp
Just finished this Japanese style lamp. Traditionally a candle stick holder I saw in a book I saw by Mr darlow.
it's 800 mm high base is 200 mm diameter and the stem is 28 mm.
the Timber is klantas and I chose jacaranda for the " candle"
3 coats of hard shellac.
Thanks for looking.Turning round since 1992

The jacaranda is meant to represent a candle, the wick is blue and Brown coated copper wire with a fitting to accept a light bulb.
