Wood lamp-shade

[Scrappile]

Going to be one unique and beautiful lamp.  Cannot wait to see it all together.

Your advise concerning the look ! Sometime I feel that I am putting to much on the panel , and next day....it's OK !

Do you think I should put all panels with only intarsia cuttings as this one ,

 

or adding some  of the 8 panels (or most ) with flowers or birds cutted in darker wood  as those ones

 

I will do some assembling  tests an put the shade on top of the lamp so I will see....

 

À suivre...

My first test of assembling with all the patterns , to see how it look like !

Some backgrounds at the back of open pattern have to be insert, do not know yet for the color , probably white so the light may come out.

Not sure yet  if I will leave the patterns which are a bit too big compare to the others.

Also I have to make  : 1e , the top of the shade which will be black or almost as the wood used, and 2e,  the bottoms of each pallet with a black pattern.

What do you think , and be honest.... ....!

To be honest...I think it's going to be fantastic. Beautifully executed, both with the scroll saw and your other tools.

Hello lampshade fans ...

Finally , after a lot of tries and tests , after practicing a bit , I glued with wood glue the 8 panels with this bottle with a fine nose, and the result was perfect

Before and ready to be glued

once glued

And I did some tests to see how it look with a light on top of it ( the sanding is allready finished, lot of delicate works...and to 320 ! )

Look quite good...
Next is the finishing of the top of the shade, some black insert .... and the oil finish.

À suivre

At last ....tadam....! After a couple of months..., pleasure, research, tests, , here is the lamp-shade finish!
Made with cherry for the 8 panels, and black walnut , ebony, and some marquetry yellow sheets at the back to get some yellow color as the base, and because the inside light was too much through the patterns.
Finish with Osmo Polyx oil , 2 layers after sanding till 320.

So here it is on daylight : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zq6ms8x7p...ijkaNPJwa?dl=0

and on evening light from the lamp : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t89oxlcmv...jOFikuQWa?dl=0

Very happy with the result, with almost same kind of nature as the base!

Thank for your support, and by reading and viewing some of your impressives pieces of all kind , and from I am still learning a lot!
