All solid wood lamp & shade. The lamp base features a segment turned body of black cherry with maple burl and wenge accents turned in a bead shape. Eight maple burl and wenge onlays become medallions when turned. A turned waist leads to an octagonal base on 8 turned feet, all in cherry. The neck is also a segment turned section, which is then carved to undulating flattened sides. The shade is a conical form of joined solid cherry. The translucent panels are a stabilized birds eye maple veneer. Applying a penetrating epoxy and fiberglass cloth give the veneer exceptional strength, durability and stability. The effect is a rich translucent glow. (The use of modern LED bulbs assures that heat will not be a factor in the longevity of the shade.) The lamp is fitted with a either a 2 bulb cluster that can hold up to 100 watt LED bulbs, or a 3 way socket that holds a 3-way LED bulb with the light equivalence of 150 watts for reading or tasks, or as little as 50 watts for accent lighting. The bulbs are included. The lamp is finished in a durable catalyzed lacquer for easy care and long lasting beauty.

For Comfort Floor Lamp W/ Translucent Wood ShadeThe final product is very beautiful but the delays were a little bit much. But if time is of no concern then the final result is worth the wait. Thanks.

For Wood clockJim was fantastic to work with. He took great care in listening to the details of our project and offering his own suggestions as well. The design process went very smoothly and we were thrilled with the finished result. Jim does not settle for anything less than perfection and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a unique piece of woodworking.

For credenza with bookcase aboveI have never given 5 stars to all aspects of any review, ever. We could not be more pleased with the craftsmanship, professionalism, value, and the overall way in which the project went from design to production and through to installation. Jim was great to work with. The two credenza/bookcase units he produced are simply excellent pieces we'll end up passing on to the children.
