First shot using Sketchup to flesh out a project. Plan is to batch six of these, selling the first one for $150 on commission and sell the balance on ebay for whatever the market will bare. Designed the piece loosely based on a Stickley pedestal found in one of my referance books. Size id 9×9x5...

My better half loves candles and wanted me to make her some sconces. Got a big chunk of wood from a demolition. Thought it was Red Oak like the other pieces that I got. But after working a section of it I am not too sure. Can someone identify the wood?

Batched 6 of these and 5 are complete. One is left waiting to be glued up (ran out of R3 biscuits) Emailed photos and this posting link to my customer, Merridee. Will ship the best one priority mail tomorrow. Sketchup is a awesome tool for woodworking design. ... I'm HOOKED …. been a autcad...

I just made 5 of these for our living room. Mahogany with mulberry paper lamp shades. The construction went very smoothly - pieces were finish planes to thickness using a homemade thickness planing jig. I designed the joinery to be very simple to execute, unlike the lamps of similar style that i...

I disliked the existing sconce in the stairwell, so…. Saint that I am, I made a new one for my wife for Christmas. What?...Oh Come on, really? None of you have ever done that? Whatever. She's happy, so it's a win-win in my book, and I'll take brownie points wherever, (and however) I can get'em...

Whew boy, am I glad this one's done! And even gladder that I have some remnant of it left to show! My wife loves Disney. So when I was pondering what to make for her birthday this year and stumbled across this: I was off and running! I was headed for a more-or-less copy of that bowl. I...

Last summer a friend of mine from Spring City, TN brought me 2 pickup loads of Sycamore. It came from a big tree and he had cut it up into large blocks about 14" x 14" x 32". I spent a good part of the summer quarter sawing it on my Rikon 18" band saw. These sconces are some of the items that I...

This is a pair of sconces I designed and built for my daughter and her husband for Christmas. They are made of walnut with rice paper/styrene shade material. Each sconce has two 13 watt Sylvania micro-mini CFL bulbs. The sconces are 25 1/2" tall, 5 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" deep.

Some times ago I bought old brass chandeliers and many spares for its. My wife asked to me to make two brass sconces , but I decided to make wooden base and four sconces with greene and greene accents. I saw beautiful and simple Gamble Houses greene and green sconces...

I made a pair of arts & crafts sconces for my house modeled after a design by Greene & Greene used in the Blacker House. Mine are pretty close to the originals as best I can tell from the photos I've seen. Probably slightly smaller. The support bar that attaches to the wall is slightly...

When I was making my Small Wormy Panga-Panga Tray I tried to find these, which is what I used the bulk of the Panga-Panga for, but to no avail. Well, I was doing more cleaning in my shop today (a never ending project in itself) and blew about an inch of sawdust off some stuff piled in a corner...

I made this sconce back in high school (I won't say how many years ago). I made it out of mahogany with a satin polyurethane finish. I think I got an A- or a B+ on it. I have another piece from high school that I am refinishing now and should have a pic up very shortly.

Hi ya'll, It has been a while since I posted any projects, life got in the way. Anyway, when we built our house I intentionally made accommodations for five wall sconces in our living room. Ten years later all that was on the walls was white covers over the outlet boxes (pic #2). Why? I...

In decorating my golf man cave, I finally got around to making the wall sconces. I still have 4 more to do, but they will be the same style with different silhouttes. The frame is 3/4" Cherry, and the silhoutte is scroll sawed 1/8" ply, and painted with a hammered metal type rattle can. They...

During our recent entrance way renovations I had a lot of time to develop a hatred of the look of our doorbell. It's a hunk of plastic covered in gaudy designes. Having been long inspired by the Greene & Greene wall sconces I decided to embark on making my own as a cover to the doorbell...

This is a sconce I built based on a design by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Francis W. Little residence in Wayzata, MN. The house has been demolished but the living room containing four of the sconces exists in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. My version is made of walnut with...

Everybody loves these things!
