Art Deco Lamp

[munzieb]

I'm always collecting and saving patterns that interest me. Recently, I've been looking at Art Deco patterns. Many of the cars I have cut are Art Deco style of the '20's and '30's. The Genre started in the early '20's with the movie Metropolis and came to an end at the beginning of WWII. I bought some 1/8" Bubinga over a year ago at the NC woodworkers show and finally found a pattern I liked. I didn't realize that when I started, there would be more than 1,000 holes! I did stack two panels at a time so it went a little quicker. The top and bottom are 1/2" bubinga. I had some parchment paper that I sprayed with shellac and then sprayed the inside of the wood pattern with contact cement and adhered the the parchment paper to it on the inside. I used a 40 W LED on the inside with a rocker switch on the wire. I think I'm back to cars and planes. A lot less holes!

If you decide to cut this, as you get to the center of each leaf, things get a little thin. You may want to go a little wider or don't go to the very end to leave some strength.
