Up close, it's a handcrafted sanctuary built with traditional mortise and tenon joinery — no screws, no glue, no hardware. The circle is cut by hand into solid beechwood, which is one of the more difficult things to do cleanly in wood. That difficulty is what makes it look the way it does.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour lamp sits on top.
