A Simple Lamp

[Whaler]

LOML wanted a small lamp for her dresser so here is the result.
It's Ipe and Tulip Wood finished with Hut crystal coat and carnuba on the buffer, total height is 14".

Very nice! Did you get the electric components from a hardware store?

With very little correction, it could have been made into a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

Very nicely done!

It's really not bad to turn if you have real sharp tools. The dust is a problem though, wear a mask. It finishes beautifully.

[lrogers]

That's very nice Dick!

Beautiful job, Dick.

[Tom Miller]

That looks great, Dick!

I've been thinking of doing a lamp for some time. How did you drill the hole -- did you use one of those augers through the end? What parts did you have to buy?

Regards,
Tom
