WAGON WHEEL CHANDELIER SHOP DRAWING

contact us at 716-941-0322 or mail us,                        We have had numerous inquiries about wagon chandeliers lately so I thought maybe I could answer some questions.  This is an elevation of the wagon wheel chandelier posted previously on this blog.  Everything on this particular fixture was custom designed and fabricated making it a truly unique chandelier.
Not all lights have to be this complicated.  We can design a fixture using standard or antique wagon wheels and off the rack parts to create a rustic fixture that's just right for your project. 
Discounts to the trade.

NEW MOOSE THEMED BURL LAMP


The moose may be familiar to those who follow my work but the lamp design is new.  The Wyoming pine burl sits on an unusual inlaid maple base.  The Shade is fret cut cherry plywood with a cherry frame backed by mica.  The fixture supports a three way light bulb with a switch in the base.
