Bedside Lamps
Nov 08, 2008
This is a set of nightstand lamps I made as a wedding present for some friends. At the time I had no powertools except for a handheld drill, no workbench, and a somewhat dull plane. Planing the maple on the floor with a doorframe as a bench dog was, well, interesting. I have since upgraded my shop.

Interesting design! It reminds me of Asian style lamps. A nice variation might be to twist the "steps" as they ascend to create a spiral look.
GORGEOUS!
What is the tube material?

Thanks, Pete!
The screen (tube) is just a nice Japanese paper from a store here in Toronto. I thought about using a fire retardant but the nice ladies in the paper shop didn't think that was really necessary. I did use of of the newer eco bulbs that run cooler. There's about an inch or so between the bulb and the screen and all the heat can escape unhindered upwards.
Cheers,
Lars
