Deek's Lamp


This was inspired by Deek Diedricksen’s wine bottle window from his book “Humble Homes, Simple Shacks”, his videos on You Tube and his website relaxshacks.com. He is a colorful character and outspoken in the
small house movement. He also has a small house he built in Vermont out of many recycled and free materials. This lamp has three large wine bottles with three lights in the bottom section and controlled by a dimmer switch.

Taliesen Table Lamp





This lamp was inspired by some designs Frank Lloyd Wright created for his beloved home
in Wisconsin he called Taliesen. I used black walnut in the base and Vermont cherry in the
shade. Rice paper is the material used for the shade.

A Pair of Prairie Wall Sconces

These are designs by Frank Lloyd
Wright who had them crafted out of metal.
These interpretations are made out of
cherry for a client in Montpelier. The
globes are standard kitchen light covers.

Little Lamp


This is a lamp I made for my nephew AK who last
weekend married Whitney in a beautiful ceremony
at her grandmother's house in Wolfboro, NH. It was inspired by some small lamps that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Dana House in 1902. It has a dimmer and a base made out of Padouk. The stem is Mahogany.

In Remembrance of Billy

My hockey team from 1971 got together for a reunion in the fall.
Recently one of my classmates, Billy Corkery passed away. Pictured
here second from the left with other members of our class, Bobby
Muse on his right, Bob McNanama, Dave Hynes, Kevin Hampe on his
left, and me with Joey Bertagna in front. Hynes, Mac, and Billy were
one of the greatest lines to ever play at Harvard, the "Local Line" or
"ABC" line. Billy was from Arlington, Mac from Belmont and Hynes
from Cambridge. They were all heroes to me.

AlphonseLantern

This Black Walnut and Douglas Fir Lantern was made
in celebration of my friend Alex's 60th birthday
and his Dad's funeral on the same day. Dr. Mac
was 94 and an amazing guy. His light shines on.

Treehouse Door Window

The Stained Glass window was made last week during a
class at Yestermorrow Design School with renowned
artist Larry Ribbecke. The work of FLW was the
inspiration.
