This project comes from Randy. He writes:

Here’s a picture of a Frank Lloyd Wright style lamp I built. If you would consider it for project of the week, I have additional photos/close-ups of the joints, etc. It is made of oak and has many splined miter joints. I finished it with a natural danish oil. I made a second one of walnut (I’ll add a picture of it too) and I’m working on the second walnut one as a set for the living room.

  1. This is a nice looking lamp. I am a fan of FLW too and I appreciate the design.

    Nice work.

    Wow! I agree with Todd.

  3. Gorgeous project, Randy. Great work!

  4. Vic says:

    Very nice, Randy! I like the choice of color for the shade, too. Is that art glass or some other material?

  5. Carl Joseph says:

    Beautiful work. I’ll take a pair for my room, thanks! :-)

  6. Geof says:

    Beautiful lamp, Randy. Could you provide the dimensions and an explanation of how you ran the electric wiring for the lamp.

  7. Jerry says:

    That is one of my favorite Wright pieces. What did you use for the shade material and how did you make it? Would love to see a “how to” article on the complete project.

  8. MDHeld says:

    Were these made with purchased plans or is it your own design?? They look great and the walnut is a great contrast to the lampshade. Wouldn’t mind some details to turn out a few of my own.

  9. Gary Bell says:

    Wow great project! Looks great! I too would like to know how you made the shade? REally cool!

    Beautiful job, Randy! As others mentioned earlier, I also would love to see more details – dimensions, info on shade material and construction, post and cantilever construction (2 pcs laminated, one with a wiring groove?? or??)

    Maybe if you have a convenient website you could put up a page or 2 and post the URL for us?

    Best Regards,
    Chris

    Awesome. The walnut version speaks to me. Very warm and soothing contrast with the shade material. You did good.

    Very artistic piece. Lots of craftsmanship in that small piece. Something to be proud of, Randy.
