I Made A Vine Lamp That Replicates The Sun (Plant+Lamp)

This lamp is alive and can possibly feel pain like the rest of us, but that is unknown to science at the moment. A few years ago I had the idea to create a lampshade out of real leaves. The piece designed itself once I found the driftwood, which looks to be the core "heartwood" of a tree, with the softer sapwood having been eaten away over time by water. The shade is my favorite vine that I've been growing over the years for this purpose.

Very cool! Regarding the wax polish, can you use it for tabletops or benches (surfaces your clothes or skin come in contact with) as well, or will the oil and wax rub off? Or is it used under a poly coating strictly as a conditioner?

[@A.Mere.Creator]

Yes you can use it with anything made of wood and more. It soaks in, and you wipe off the excess, and if it’s a high use area you might need to re apply once every year or two. For table tops made of softer woods like pine I go for a poly because it’s a plastic film that protects it. But for harder woods like the beech IKEA table tops you can use both (never at the same time) the only reason I used poly is because you cannot stain and use the wax oil very well, but it’s possible.

[@EPSTomcat11]

@@A.Mere.Creator Thanks for the quick reply :) By using both do you mean first using the wax, and then the poly on top to seal it? Or do you mean using the wax on top of the poly?

[@EPSTomcat11]

@@A.Mere.Creator Also regarding staining, do you mean that using the wax directly on top of stain will cause problems?

[@A.Mere.Creator]

The Oil beeswax mix, and the poly are two different finishes, they’re not used together. And oil can move around the stain you put on and cause streaks

When I see Amir has uploaded something, I immediately drop everything and watch. I could use this kind of calming presence any time of day

[@jesebellealbano1442]

I'm an engineering student, struggling in college. Seeing you make things that's basically an aesthetic application, and very practical might I add, of what I learned in uni makes me wanna do better in my studies, even though I know that I won't be able to make those as good as you did, or make them at all lol. I really love your content btw. ❤

[@sharksgrr]

tbh i think half the appeal of your builds is how pleased u are with them, a+ enthusiasm, very wholesome

[@rizzy.9572]

[@Yungvas]

This is the only really relaxing video i actually stay awake to watch

[@Carguyforlife]

Great video, man! You should totally do an update video months from now when it’s more grown over. Also, that makes me wonder what a small tree would look like with the same concept.

Hey Amir! Such a brilliant work you did there!! Well done. I too love the way how the sun rays blend with the leaves and gives a aesthetic color. N here, You turned it into a living lamp, who would have thought that! Amazing!! Keep up the creative.

[@michaelcherry8952]

5:48 I've heard of tree-huggers, but you're taking it to the next level! :-) This is a very creative concept and your execution was perfect. I love the copper wire cage and the beautiful way the driftwood came to life with the wax finish. No matter what kind of a day I'm having, I always know I'm going to be smiling after watching one of your videos. 6:38 Proof that cats don't have owners, they have staff! ;-)
