044 - Japanese lantern

This a very decorative lantern in Japanese style. The sides show four different Japanese scenes. The text below the scenes reads "Japan, the land of the rising sun". The inner part of the sides can be covered with the material of your preference to produce different luminous effects. The pattern is based in a very old English design that I have completely redrawn in the computer.

This piece is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 inches wood or with 6 mm wood. The following table gives the dimensions of the piece depending on the wood thickness you use:

	Height	Width
1/4 in. wood	11,1 in.	7,1 in.
6 mm wood	26.6 cm	17 cm

Please note that this pattern is registered and copyrighted. If you would like to have it I offer it for 10 € plus shipping. The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to [email protected] to buy this pattern or for any questions.
