I decided to try and design a tea candle lamp with the help of a laser cutter. I drew the pattern using a thick marker, scanned it, converted it to a vector and then massaged it some.

I used white oak for the wood, and it turned out well, although there were a fair number of burn marks which needed sanding. 

Each side is the same, and there is a base to hold it together. The design needs some changes, as some parts are quite thin and broke off (as you can see!).
