Lamp-o-mania

Now that I'm back from Italy I'm getting to work in my workshop with some new ideas. I'm currently working on some new lamps, because I really like lamps. The one below is inspired by the construction of a kayak and will use shoji paper for the screen. It's big! I think it's going to be pretty nice though.


I also just finished up this free standing, columnar lamp. It's made of walnut, curly maple, and mylar. I'm thinking that I might try to put together a little show with some more lamps and maybe get a friend of mine to put up some of his paintings.


I really like the heartwood/sapwood contrast of walnut, it's really a nice wood to work with.
