Here's a variation on a project I saw a few years back in either Wood or American Woodworker. I made the four sided center post a slight pyramid which radically changes all the other geometry including the corbels and the dovetailed arms that hold the shade. The shade is made of 1/4" thick...

I wanted to do something different for the stems of these table lamps and some kind of blending of woods kept coming to mind. I did a recent blog that covered the shade construction in grueling detail so no need to mention any of that 8^) The lamp sits about 22" tall, the shade is about 18"...

How I spent my summer. A fellow had bought a set of my previous lamps and asked if I could make a floor lamp on the same theme. Normally I hate commissions because it locks me into a project when I'd rather be building the latest project that pique my interests. I'm just a sucker I guess 8^)...

This is a prototype of what I think of as "Splintergroup's Lamp." To the extent my skills allow, it is a shameless copy of this, without some of the beautiful details my current skills don't allow. And I can't thank splintergroup enough for his series of blog posts on making the shade, which...

Greetings! This is what I've been spending weekends over the summer working on. They are very similar to the previous lamps I built with a few exceptions so I won't deep dive into the details as much (see the previous project post for more gritty detail) I've changed a few of my jig designs...

I received a request for a pair of Mission Style end tables from the lovely but formidable Ms. Linda. The first was straightforward and I had plans and drawings from, I believe, WOOD Magazine. The second was a bit more complicated. It had to act as end table for the chair but also wrap around...

This was built on kind of a lark. We had an el-cheapo pole lamp that my wife kept bugging me to somehow dress it up. My intent was to basically use the parts and make a cyborg version with wood. I then got to looking at some pictures of Mission style floor lamps and some of the great work shown...

These were a bit more involved than I planned, but still fun. The basics: White Oak, some quarter sawn, some rift sawn. Ammonia fumed finish covered with maybe 4 coats of "Tung Oil" wiping varnish, sanded smooth between coats. I quote the "Tung Oil" since this product has none in it, but I like...

These lamps are nearly identical to those I made before except they have a simpler base and slightly different shade design. Tom makes some beauties and inspired me to try a few more myself. The wood is Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) which I harvested locally (neighbors dead trees)...
