Japanese saw, fine wood

I found in the handmade wooden Japanese-style lamp a nice challenge for myself. From imagining to finally finishing the lamp, I've spent about 2 months dealing with small technical challenges up to the result.

Principle

The whole idea turned around fitting all pieces together, without using any glue or pin. For this, all piece have to be precisely cut, by hand.

Process

From choosing the design of the lamp to selecting the wood and crafting each detail of the lamp, I roughly spent 2 months at slow pace to finish this project.
