Abstract
A method of fabricating a lamp, wherein the lamp base is made by providing a polyhedral block of wood and cutting the vertical plane faces of the block to form vertically curved sides while still maintaining the straight shape of the faces in the horizontal direction. The lamp shade is made from a plurality of nestable curved panels that are cut from a rectangular parallelepiped block. The panels are placed on a multi-faced form and their vertical edges are joined together to form the shade.
