Japanese andon floor lamp

By user-999997, member Dec 31, 2019

Japanese Andon I completed recently. Base is from locally harvested ash (joinery is half lap), main part of lamp is Sapele with maple frames and linden kumiko patterns. Kumiko patterns are Tsuno asa-no-ha (hemp leaf), Yae asa-no-ha (top panel), Goma-gara kikko (sesame), and Kasane rindo. Main part of lamp is mortise and tenon with the panels held in by removable battens to allow replacement of the washi (rise paper). Kumiko is left unfinished but hand planed while the rest of the lamp is just a soft wax finish.

Nice job on the Kumiko, I'm getting ready to start a lamp, did you leave out some of the rice paper on the top to allow heat to escape?
