I basically adapted an Asian table lamp design that I ran across to a wall light. I changed the dimensions and some of the detail. I don't remember where I saw the original design. The curly maple broke when I tried to bend it at first. I finally got the curve that I wanted after boiling the wood for about 10-15 minutes in a pot and then gluing the pieces over an MDF form.

Design or Plan used: My Own Design - Adapted from several asian lamps that I have seen.
