Dunno, certainly unusual.

What a waste of material when probably laminating would have achieved the same effect.

Cubic zirconia has the same effect as diamond, but it doesn't reduce
the allure of the latter.

Any worse than chucking it in a stove or fire place as done to
millions of logs like that.

Indeed.

You simply can't beat that shuttering plywood grain effect,
complete with knots, when it comes to a really classy,
table-lamp shade.

The bit they didn't show was where he used a giant outdoor lathe to cut
away the rest of the tree to make the short cylinder.

Such plywood grain effect, complete with knots, is in part what led to
the rubbish architecture of the 60s. I note another letter in the Times
recently saying that such architecture should be preserved. Bulldoze
the lot, is what I say.


There were certainly some marvellous buildings demolished and replaced with
total ****e.

Good woodturning skills ... but not very good design ... drying out plus
heat of lamp will cause that to distort badly.

Think the video was just to show his skills.
