My wife and I saw some punched copper lamp shades while traveling around last year and I thought that might be a good idea for a wooden lamp. My first project for the new year was to make a prototype using some roofing flashing as a learning process since copper is so expensive. I painted the shade with rust effects paint. There is a lot of room for improvement but I think this is a promising start. I will probably do another one with flashing before trying to make a copper one.
