Project Information
I've had more than several requests for lamps and decided to make 2 more for the small church boutique that we attended last week. Pictures #1 and #2 are the new lamps, the 3rd picture is the same lamp I had at the Atwood show.
This boutique is with the same church that I made the giving tree hands for earlier this year and they only have 15 vendors for the two day event.
They of course have a massive cookie/pie/cake and candy table(s) so that's my first stop when I come in both days. Chocolate chip and monster cookies are surely going to be my demise but that's OK.
Getting back to lamps - I made 2 for this event and sold 2 of the 3 as well as a LOT of other items. I bought antique 'looking' harps and sockets for the lamps versus local gold colored pieces, made a BIG difference in the overall appearance of the lamp especially when one looks up under the shade.
I found multi-colored led bulbs that change colors in 4 different manners as well as just hold in any of the 15 or so colors via remote control. I also had straight white led's for them but were denied when they opted for the multi colored, I guess it's a holiday thing.
My bowls, cutting boards and cheese slicers seemed to be on the top of everybodys shopping list tho so it was a slow but very good show.
In the last picture is a band saw 'box' that was a commissioned item. The client wanted specific dimensions as well as drawer depth. The lumber choices was at my discretion so I used aromatic cedar and 3/4" plywood as filler with a sassafras back and and I used a beautiful piece of figured walnut for the front. In the picture the bottom drawer is showing the curly the most.
Thanks for looking
