Water Lily Lamp
I have been working on this little project for several years. I wanted to combine a nature theme with the grace and exposed joinery in Greene and Greene projects with FLW’s Johnson Wax Building inspiration. The top is mine and the base is a Greene and Greene variation. The lamp is made of 110 pieces of alder and the finish is of dye stain, two shades of glaze, toner, and lacquer.

I don't see many lamps that I like, but I like this one very much. The base has the grace of a stately tree trunk; the slope of the top and the spacing of the elements all seem just right. I'm not a big fan of this style, but excellence of design transcends any style. From what one can make out from the pictures the execution is masterful. Everything about it is wonderful; I don't see how it could be better.
Incidentally, the link to your website didn't work for me. If you have more of your work there I'd love to see it.
Graceful and unassuming. For a lamp that's high praise, sad to say. Beautiful work.
