A great piece of work Ad

I like the design and the workmanship looks good. Are ther any safety concerns with using wood for that application?

A really beautiful lamp Ad, I like it.
This is a really challenge for a segmenting woodturner.

Very cool idea Ad! I like it. Flat rings would be easy, but yours appear to be conical sections. Trying to visualize how you sanded side two before glue-up. Jam chuck?

No, not at all. Peter Bloch is specialized in wooden lamps, including wooden lamp shades. He sells wooden lamps, see his website Peter Bloch - Turned Wood Lampshades Made from Aspen Logs

Yes many, by cutting the inside till the stage of open fins, in the first place leaving a very thin layer of wood left over by using a tooltip, was aware of getting terrible catches destroying the whole thing. Used a selfmade cutting knive for removing the last thin layer of wood.

I made already for her a ceiling lamp for the kitchen, a table clock, and more.
In the past I made a lot of lamps, table lamps and other ceiling lamps.
This wall lamp is completely different, but this belongs to my effords to make something new I never did before. Finished yesterday the main part of the shade, what was the most tricky thing of the whole project. Took me a whole week to get it done.
The largest diameter of the shade is 290mm, tall 275mm.
I wanted to show you the result till now, I call it a lamp for mood lighting.
As always some like it, other not. But also this belongs to the live of a woodturner!!
Cheers, Ad from Holland

Ad, nice looking lamp.
Can you explain how you went about cutting the slots, and what holds them together.

That is sure a bright idea

And beautifully turned well done
