table lamp with birch lamp shade
Have from an existing table lamp with a lampshade segmented, the segmented lampshade removed and in its place a lampshade made from freshly cut birch.
The total height of the table lamp is 510 mm, and has a 18 watt power saving lamp as the light source.
The photos were taken in daylight, one in a darkened room.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers, Ad

Nice work Ad.
Is there a frame holding the lampshade? It looks like it's just sitting on that top plate of your lampstand . If so do you have any holes in the plate to let air through to aid cooling?

Truthfully the shape does not grab me - but then when the light shines through - who cares about the shape, the effects of the light through the thin turning is fantastic and you realise it's not about the shape after all.
Well done.Dragonfly

did you need to spray with water while turning to stop it cracking?
its a technique i have seen before but I’m not sure it was needed and/or would depend on the setup (wood was heating up due to lights on lathe)
