The Wright Touch

My summer woodworking project has been completed, a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired knockoff of his Taliesin 2 floor lamp:



It was made in mahogany and poplar, with diffusers of Baltic birch.  It emits a pleasant glow from its ten 3.5 watt led bulbs, roughly equivalent to about 300 total watts of the old-fashioned tungsten lamps. I put a dimmer in it as well, just the thing for those “romantic” evenings with the lights turned low.

Wow! Very impressive, Prof! -O.

It was an interesting challenge, the diffusers tend to warp, I'll have to redo some of them.
