Lamps and Art of Stained Glass and Fine Woods
Sonoma County Stained Glass and Exotic Woods by Skip Thomsen
18" high
This art-glass and wood table lamp was inspired by the many koi
ponds
one sees in Hawai'i. The inspiration for the frame design came
from
the Japanese gates
in Hilo's beautiful and serene Lili'uokalani Park.
That dramatic
grain seen in this piece can come only from Hawaiian Curly Koa,
a highly prized
wood indigenous to Hawaii. It is rare, and expensive when one
can
actually find
some, but the rewards of crafting works like these from Koa come
when the final
finish is applied and the finely figured grain comes alive!
Below is the other
side of the lamp.
Owning one of
these pieces is owning a work of timeless design,
impeccable craftsmansip,
and an original design that will
never be duplicated.
With the exception of the electrical
components, everything
is made by hand.
These works
are designed and created by Skip Thomsen of Forestville, California
The design
and execution of each of these pieces is unique and
will never be reproduced. All original designs and patterns for
the glass and the cases are destroyed after the piece is completed.
