Really like these Designer Paul Foeckler Turns to Firewood to Create His Latest Lighting Collection - SolidSmack

 

Wondering how to make one.

Looks good. May have a go myself. Sure a man of your calibre could work it out.

How would you go about it James?

Cut into slices with a good quality bandsaw, drill/cut out all but top slice and then mount onto rods. Simples.....

I was discussing this with my lighting design consultant (my brother who really is a lighting design engineer ).

Particularly to do with the electrics he said that the light is either two lights with the wiring through the bars or it is a single light with a reflector at the top.

 

For me the reflector makes sense, as it would be far easier to make and he reckons the single light would give the same effect as 2 lights, as long as you made the reflector convex, spreading the reflected light rather than a flat surface which would just send it back where it came from

Thanks Pete. Yes thats the sort of thing I was trying to work out. Hadn't thought of adding a reflector so thanks again.

np i saw this and thought i could make that ........just need to find a suitable piece of wood as i have split everything ready for the fire

gave another brother of mine a load of plum gorgeous reds,orange and purples through the grain don't think he has ringed and split them yet!

 

as i want a free standing 3- 4 foot one

Pete any chance you can ask your brother about suitable light fittings. I presume LED is the way to go but still concerned about the risk of too much heat in a wooden mount. Also to project the light through the multiple holes what might be a good angle spot?

 

Thanks

[Cheesy pete]

we did talk about LED ... i would assume they wouldn't create that much heat?

they certainly create alot less than other lamps .

I will ask and get him to post.
