This is one of my signature lamps. They are made with multiple layers of different woods. This is an 8-sided lamp. I always add inlay at the joints. Now don’t have any problems with the inlay, but when I first started making these lamps I had some costly mistakes. The most painful mistake was not taking my inlay deep enough and then getting a little carried away on the lathe. Whoops!

I agree with MikeH, that is one of the nicest looking wood lamp bases I think I have ever seen.

Absolutely amazing lamp! I’m curious about the woods used. Also, Where did you get the great shade?

Very elegant and stately piece. I can imagine it in a beautiful home in the tropics.

Beautiful project!!! I love the choice of wood and I think the shade goes perfectly with it. I also would like to know what woods are used. Great job.
