I JUST HAD TO MAKE THIS BLOG TO TELL A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT I AM DOING WITH WOOD. I AM ALWAYS AMAZED WHEN I TURN A NEW PIECE OF WOOD AND THE COLORS THAT IT HOLD JUST WAITING TO BE EXPLORED . EVERY TURNING HOLD SOMETHING NEW. I WILL SOON HAVE BETTER PICTURES FOR I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM ANYWAY. AMONG OTHER THINGS I TURN LIKE GOBLETS, VASES AND BOWLS ,THE SHADES ARE MOSTLY OUT OF PINE, SOME OUT OF CHERRY, THEY ARE TURNED SO THIN WHEN USED AS A LAMP THEY GLOW A STUNNING ORANGE RED THE PERFECT NATURAL MOOD LIGHT , THEY ARE SO SOOTHING TO LOOK AT AND TO USE AS LIGHTING IN THE HOUSE. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO THIN THEY ARE VERY TIME CONSUMING I CAN SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY TURNING ONE SHADE. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SO THIN THEY ARE VERY DURABLE AND IF TAKEN CARE OF WILL LAST A LIFE TIME

Welcome!

TRANSLUCENT GLOWING TURNED WOOD LAMP SHADES

WOOD TURNER LARRY PROWANT.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SOUTHERN PINE LAMP SHADE

THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF SHADES I CAN TURN, OR IF YOU HAVE A STYLE I CAN TURN THAT
THE SHADES ARE TURNED VERY THIN ABOUT 1/16 INCH .WHEN THE LIGHT INSIDE IS NOT ON YOU SEE A TURNED VESSEL WHEN THE LIGHT IS TURNED OT THEY GLOW A BEAUTIFUL ORANGE RED A NATURAL LIGHT THAT IS SO SOOTHING TO THE EYES.THE SHADES ARE VERY DURABLE AND IF TAKEN CARE OF WILL LAST A LIFE TIME

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT JUST A FEW OF THE SHADES I HAVE TURNED

EVERY SHADE IS TURNED VERY CAREFULLY . SOAKED IN A SPECIAL SOLUTION ,TO PRESERVE AND MAINTAIN TRANSLUCENCY , DRIED , THEN SEVERAL COATS OF LACQUER APPLIED SO THAT THEY HAVE A GLOSSY FINISH. THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF LAMPS AND SHADES IF YOU SEE ONE YOU LIKE OR IF YOU CAN SEND A PIC OF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE I CAN MAKE THAT.

DON'T SEE WHAT YOU LIKE LET ME KNOW, I'M ALWAYS MAKING NEW ONES

MY LOVE OF LIFE IS TO DO THINGS I ENJOY AND THAT OTHERS ENJOY AS WELL. IF YOU PURCHASE ONE OF MY LAMPS AND ARE NOT HAPPY I WILL REFUND YOU MONEY. MY GOAL I NOT JUST TO PROVIDE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER BUT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS WILL ENJOY FOR MANY YEARS. THANKS, LARRY
