Guest Chris Becksvoort joins host Tom McLaughlin in his shop this week on Classic Woodworking. Chris, a long-time contributing editor to Fine Woodworking, shares with us his design and construction of a stunning contemporary table lamp with a shade made from thin strips of veneer. The soft light that passes through the wood shade creates a very soothing effect, making the lamp a wonderful addition to any room.
