A kitchen with one sad but very economical light bulb in the middle of the ceiling has been waiting for its own lamp for a couple of years, which we, as usual, decided to make with our own hands. In addition to this idea, there were a couple of different ideas in my head: a lamp made of ropes or bottles, a lamp made of cups or twigs, or maybe made of veneer or clay? In short, it didn’t work out for us with the lighting of the kitchen. True, a vintage lampshade from the 60s hung over the work table.
Then, having looked at scandinavian interiors, we caught fire with branches and snags. We decided that one should definitely hang on the ceiling in the kitchen, especially since we dream of a wooden kitchen furniture. Said not done. Because finding a snag is not an easy and protracted business.
In search of a suitable tree, we wandered along the banks of several rivers (Latoritsa, Southern Bug, Zbruch, Dnieper and Desenka), roamed the forests and puzzled friends who love hiking. And then to the nearest park and right in the middle of the central alley we found our future wooden lamp :)
A long-awaited find
Satisfied with the long-awaited find, we returned home and ... were confused, because doubts piled on us. And what will it look like? “What will people say?” (ukr). But how to hang such a lamp if there is no planned kitchen furniture?
In short, our branch first became a subject of interior design and special pride, and then it was slightly shortened, because part of it went to children on a wooden lotto with animals. How so? And like this: an unknown beast began to gnaw at the branch :) I had to cut off a part, and then - it wasn’t there - they made a loto out of another piece of the branch. There was a snag left untouched by the beast, and just desired length.
A year has passed and then our beloved “The village” writes to us, they say, let's cooperate. We so wanted it! But we don’t have anything fresh and suitable for their theme. Well, in fact, I won’t do a master class for “The village” about sewing a felt giraffe :) What can we offer? Of course, the long-awaited driftwood lamp. It's mainstream and Scandinavia! We discuss this idea with the editor, she agrees and we start working on a lamp from a branch with our own hands.
Everything could be done simply and quickly, but we are not looking for easy ways, so we go back to the forest. This time we need thinner branches to make wooden cases for the cartridges in the lamp. Fortunately, we find a fallen and dried tree quickly, combining a pleasant find with a useful paddock of the younger generation.
While the kids are sleeping...
Suitable branch
All the necessary materials for a lamp from a branch:
Large dry branch, wire, E-14 plastic cartridges, energy-saving light bulbs with a similar base, thin metal mounting cable, clips for it, dry branches with a diameter of 3.5 centimeters, small nails (about 10 pcs.), Wood screws (2 short, 1 long), square board (8 x 8 x 2 centimeters), white acrylic paint, acrylic lacquer, masking tape. Saw, drill (engraver), drill, soldering iron, pliers, screwdriver.
DIY kit :)
And now the process of creating a wooden lamp with your own hands:
1. We clean the remains of the bark on the branch sandpaper. Some places are left untouched to give a natural look.
Sanding the branch with sandpaper
2. We mark places on the branch for drilling holes for wires. Also, at the top of the branch, draw a line along which we will make a groove for the wire.

8. We cut off the wire of the required length, connect the cartridge to it, put the cartridge in a wooden case. Then we pass the free end of the wire into the hole on the large branch.
We collect details
9. We insert the steel cable into the holes on the branch and fix it with screws.

In addition, such products are coated with special solutions during the production process that can prevent the deformation of the wood structure and the appearance of harmful insects.
Let us consider in more detail the pros and cons of using wood as the main raw material for the manufacture of lamps.
Pros:
