Wood Turned Lamp
I've seen versions of this kind of lamp around the internet but I figured I'd give it a shot. It's made from several different varieties of wood.
Turn Blanks
Take the blanks and put them up on the lathe. Using your various turning tools shape them to your hearts content.
Repeat Again and Again
Repeat for each one of your different wood blanks.
Drill Holes
The base blank needs a the hole through it like all of them but it also needs one through the side for the power cable. The rest I drilled through at different points to allow for shifting them to create an interesting form overall.
Final Layup and Wiring
Once you have the pieces positioned the way you want them, its time to wire the whole thing up. I purchased a cord, lamp harp, and bulb kit from home depot and assembly is crazy simple.
Enjoy Your New Lamp
Put a lamp shade on it, screw in a light bulb, plug it in, and enjoy!
