Falling Water Lamp
|
|
Probably the most important part of this project is selecting the best walnut for the shade. It doesn?t take a lot of wood (in fact, you might be able to build this project from your scrap pile), and I resawed the pieces to get a bookmatched shade. If you?re a beginning woodworker, this is the trickiest part of the project.

Garden Lily Pool or Sand Box

To take the weight of water or sand the container is made from sturdy 2"x6" (51mm x 152mm) , 2"x12" (51mm x 305mm) and 2"x4" (51mm x 102mm) cedar. To hold water, the inside of the box requires a polyethylene liner.
