Making of a Shade

A very quick clip to show the process Soren goes through when making one of his unique wooden lamp shades.

!!! Please before you write a negative comment about the waste of wood, please realize , this is fast growing pine, it had already been cut down to be used as firewood, the centre of the log is sap wood and is very poor quality, and all the wood chips are reused in another way, for heating, or in the garden. We appreciate your care for nature, and assure you that we too have the same regard for what our planet gives to us.

I am a woodturner/inventor/teacher with 35 years at the lathe, I hope you enjoy a small glimpse into making one of my shades.

I can't believe it is even necessary to apologize to whack jobs over the "waste" of wood! I bet most of them promote the death of unborn children!

i like your work

Carol m merci pour votre commentaire et pour vos insultes ... le crétin de ne pas s'émerveiller devant cette belle lanterne mais à la nature! Un arbre est un écosystème ... couper des arbres pour des vétilles ou esthétiques comme c'est le passé! Ce matériau est noble et il doit se conformer à l'utilisation maximale de l'écologie est appliquée, mais pouvez-vous comprendre cela?

Carol m thank you for your comment and for your insults ... the nitwit not to marvel at this beautiful lantern but to nature! A tree is an ecosystem ... cut trees for aesthetic trivialities as is in the past! This material is noble and it must comply with the maximum use of ecology is applied, but can you understand that? All spoke with a tree!

It's a tree. They grow back. Get over it.

[Mauricio Nestor]

[Carol M]

Patrice!  It's only waste if he created the shade and DIDN'T USE IT! YOU are a nitwit!
