Jace McDill Week 9: Long Bow Lamp

I

I weighed a assortment of different options while deciding on a design for my lamp. I landed on this design because i found that i liked the look of a standing lamp that could be placed anywhere versus a lamp that needs to be hung. After looking at a good amount of examples from the blog i decided on this elegant recurve design that i feel could accent any room.

I followed the typical process used to create the waffle form. I started with my solid and created the interior space. I then used the section tool to create each individual piece. The snaps and the intersections allowed me to create pipes along the line in order to accurately create notches for the building process. I finally used the bettermassiveunroll script in order to lay out the pieces for the laser cutting

My material in my keyshot rendering was the walnut wood because it most closely resembled the lauan that i chose to build my lamp out of. I used lauan becasue i liked the wood look and lauan was fairly cheap and it allowed for the appearance that i desired. Can i just say there is no better smell than freshly laser cut lauan in the morning.
