New type wall lamp
Happy New Year to all the members of this wonderful forum.
I started the New Year with a new type wall lamp, hanging on the wall in my own computer room.
The lamp shade is made out of wet birch, and is turned with a 2 mm wallthickness.The rest is made out of oak.
The light source is a 11 watt electricity saving lamp.
Finished with transparent acrylic lacquer.
Cheers, Ad

Thank you all for the responses,
@ Finlay, turned several birch lampshades, never had problems with cracking, not one go up in smoke, or even hot, but I use energy saving lamps that emit little heat.
I turn lampshades out of wet birch wood, preferably in one go with a wallthickness of 2 mm, dries quickly with a little bit of warping.
Thanks again.
Cheers, Ad
