Prairie Style Lamp

beautiful.
hmm “deceptively simple” “20 hours in the shade alone”... Simple as in easy techniques … just time consuming to do these easy techniques… ok I get it… :)

the pine cone: is this cut on a scrollsaw or did you purchase it “as is”?

I mean that for the average person, they would not see that much work in the shade (which is, indeed, the bulk of the work). The pine cone I cut out myself from sheet copper on a scroll saw.

I think the average person doesn’t see most of the work needed to provide the beautiful projects.
And sometimes, what I am learning, is that the “simple” stuff takes the most time to complete

Beautiful pine cone!

You are totally correct. It is, many times, the most simple appearing portions of a project that prove to be the most challenging.

Scott, very nice really like the shade. Where did you get the mica panels from??

-- Jim Hallada, Chesterfield, VA

I ordered them online from a company in California, I think. I would have to look back through my files.

Wow, a lot of time into this project. Very nice, it was worth it.

More great work. Thanks for letting us see it Scott.

Nice one Scott!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

That’s a beauty, Scott. Please keep us informed about the sheet Mica source.

I would be very interested in your Mica source. The lamp is beautiful. I want to make wall sconces using Mica but have not found a supplier for it.

Very cool. Nice job.
