Thank You :-)
Of course it's not a problem, if You have some questions just write. I will answer (maybe not for all ;-P).
But I think the best it just trying, practise and use Your own imagination and creativity. I didn't ask anyone how to do that just starting to do what was in my mind. Sometimes it's better to make some mistakes and learn on them :-)
So keep going and ask if You want :-)

Yeah i'm currently doing another lamp....it was a strange curve on one side so first i'm covering the surface with chopsticks and then i'll take them out after i glue them to see what shape the wood needs to be and then i'll jsut cut the piece =p

But things like that eath globe you did wow i mean i see it and looks as if its a solid piece.....which confuses me i dont see the joints....i guess what i want to ask how the hell do you do a sphere like that =p

I'm not sure if I understand what You said about globe. Did You write all that is under the photo? About magness? I'm not sure if I understand about "solid piece" and "joints" :-)

sorry x3 well i'm not talking about the gourd lamp O.O sorry <.< I was refering to the earth lamp you did...the one that got the dd looks as if the pieces that make up the thing are solid pieces and dont look like as if yu bent them to get the round shape and well i'm amazed at that...i have no idea how someone can do that =p

Unless you carve both parts of the sphere....well not really a sphere but you get my idea i hope :3

Haha ok now I understand :-) But The Globe lamp You are talking about is lamp made by gourd too. All of my lamps were made by gourd. So it was not solid piece of wood. I have never did any lamp made by wood, just gourd but I agree that it would be quite difficult to carve round shape like that :-)
