One of my favorite wood turners on You Tube (Stephen Ogle) made a lamp like this out of Walnut. Thought I give it a shot. I pretty much copied his design (since I liked it so much) but used Ambrosia Maple instead. I've had two Ambrosia Maple blanks sitting here drying since the beginning of October of last year. They finally stopped losing weight over the past two weeks. Much happier with the results of this over the lidded box I posted the other day ( but I'm liking it more and more now). The lamp is still in the works. I have it sanded to 600 and it has two coats of Tung Oil on it. Wax finish will go on tomorrow and the hardware will be installed.
