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.

Sally's Reading Lamp


This is a lamp I made for our friend Sally Taylor, who has been a source of wisdom and strength in our lives. She needed some light between two chairs she uses for reading and sewing. The design is a Frank Lloyd Wright
inspired creation. Ellie went to nearby stream to find the rocks for the base.

The De Rhodes Lamp has a base made from Padouk and a stem from
Douglas Fir. The corners are mahogany strips. There is a standard socket
near the top and a candleabra socket inside the stem. Once again I was inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie style.$200
