Daniel's Spiral Lamp

The question everyone asks is

"how is this done?"

I started this project in 1981, it took me three years and $75,000 to do the prototyping.
There was and is no machinery tooling and hardware to do this project.
It was necessary to design and build all of the machinery tooling and hardware for each phase. 

This is my four spiral lamp, to achieve this, I cut a tree, cypress tree, about 14 inches in diameter, 2 foot-long.

The next picture is the processes required to make the lamp.

The next picture is a top view of the four spiral lamp.

The four spirals are replaced on the base, exactly as the tree grew within 1/16 of an inch.

 
 
Notice that the growth lines are lined up.
 

 

To get a better concept of this, it would be necessary to go to my (website)

 
 
and see the video, and to go to my (Picasa Web Album)to see more pictures.
 
 
Thanks for looking - Daniel Morton
 
(Note from UK Penturners:)
 
We do suggest that you visit the above  as the photographs shown here do not do this fantastic lamp justice.
 

 Michael's Plaques

Shown below is an artifact that goes back to World War 1. The plaque was known as the "Dead Mans Penny" and also called a "Widows Penny" as it was given to relatives who lost family in the Great War.

This plaque lay wrapped up in a cupboard for years, I eventually turned a lovely piece oak and inset the plaque into it.

It is now a talking point for visitors that come to the house.

Wooden Plaque
