I was wondering if anyone that attended Klingspors 'woodworking show' in Hickory NC. last September saw the table lamp that was on display by one of the woodworking clubs that were displaying items crafted by their members?
This particular table lamp had a very unsual but absolutely georgous shade made from sliced walnut shells. The slices were edge glued together to form a dome or inverted bowl shape about 12in across. The light shone out through the holes where the nuts used to be. The glue holding it all together was sort of a black epoxy the same color as the shells. I was very impressed with this lamp! Unfortunately there was no one there to ask the many questions I had about it's construction, as I would really like to try my luck building one.
Anyone know anything about this lamp? Are there plans available anywhere? I can't seem to find anything anywhere, and I really would like to build this lamp, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Hope to hear from someone. - mtnman
