Artificial Light

[Robertex]

I've been going at a tsuba with a piece of ex-piano key ivory using Jim Gilbert's tried and true method, and would greatly appreciate your recommendations on a type of artificial light to examine progress, as well as viewing Nihonto in general. Obviously sunlight is the best, but my schedule often precludes working on this art during daylight hours.

If you have some extra cash, get a Biolite. The light given off averages out electrical waves so that although it is artificially generated light, it is close to natural flame, or to morning sunlight.
