I have wanted to make this lamp for a long time. One day it turned out that I have everything I need to do it. Great! :D

I cut the coconut in 1/3 of the length, hollowed the pulp with a spoon

Then I smoothed the edges and the entire coconut with sandpaper

I drew a pattern on a coconut, then hollowed it with a multigrinder with a carving cutter

I used a drill to make dots

As the base of the lamp I used a wooden leg from the old sofa :D

In which I drilled a hole for the bulb holder and cable. I smoothed the wood with sandpaper and painted it with an oil stain. I painted the grooves in the coconut with golden paint, and covered the entire coconut with wax for wood

I connected the coconut with a stand using a copper wire so that you can easily open the lamp to change the bulb. I decided that the lamp will be closed with a button.
This is the final effect :)
