Veneer lamp inspired by the Luminous Display Pedestal in the October 2010 issue of wood magazine. The lamp is made from solid Bubinga and Quilted Maple veneer glued to Lexan panels. The finish is tung oil and Arm-R-Seal. A 65W CFL (equal to 300W incandescent) provides lighting.

I like this better than the one I saw in the magazine. This looks better as a tabletop lamp. Great job.
What are the dimensions of this?

That project caught my attention as soon as I got the mag. I never thought of the veneer + Lexan.
Very nice!

Answers to various questions-
Dimensions are roughly 26 1/2” tall and 9 1/2” wide, the veneer panels I bought were 8×18” so I designed around that.
I bought the veneer at woodcraft, it came in a pack of 4 sheets 8×18. The veneer is made by Sauers and Co.

What type of glue did you use to adhere the veneer to the lexan?

I used System Three two-part epoxy to glue the veneer to the Lexan. I clamped the veneer/lexan between to peices of MDF with a sheet of wax paper on the inside of each peice of MDF.
