First Light

This is my first pendent light that I made using a rough turned bowl that my Dad, Phil F. Brown, started in 1993. The piece of walnut had a few cracks that I did not fill to allow the light to show through. It is installed in above a sink in an A-frame cabin in Colorado.

Thank you! Exploring doing the pendent lights with my dad's pieces. Some he turned the bottom so thin that there is no way I can finish turn them without making them into funnels..even super thin. So I get to give him credit for the idea in that way!

Try to find a video by Peter Bloch . It will show you how to make a hanger. Opening the base will let some of the heat out also. Just a suggestion Look on Vimeo.

Thank you so much for this Bob! I have been looking for someone to talk to about the "lamp" market. What a perfect contact.
