Greene and Greene lamps

Very impressive! I love the warm glow shining through when the lamp is illuminated. The copper overlays(?) add visual interest—the designs are very intriguing. Is the mica something you have to prepare, or is it available in uniform sheets.

A wonderfully unique lamp super job.

http://www.ashevillemica.com I found them a while back while quoting a job for a client. One of these days I am going to tackle a few lamps like the Gamble House has.

Wdwerker has the source pegged; Asheville Mica sells a bunch of different styles. These are among the darkest and lowest grades with lots of inclusions, which I prefer. The first lamp is lapped joinery, but the second one, with my logo, is mortise and tenon Dominoes, which is much easier to make.

Ken that is so nice

It has that nice aged look as well

The Asheville Mica is a new one on me

Great job on these lamps. Love Greene & Greene. Hope to make some of these someday. Woodworker’s Supply has mica as well. Used them a couple of years ago in making an arts & craft lamp. http://woodworker.com/18x36amber-mica-sheet-025-mssu-941-273.asp?search=Mica&searchmode=2

Mr. O’Neil,

Thanks for the lead on mica at Woodworker. They are somewhat more expensive than Ashville Mica. Ashville also has a wider choice of colors and thicknesses.
