Wild Fire Lamp

Floor standing lamp of fused Dichroic glass and Bubinga exotic wood..... Made in 3 layers of glass- thin clear base, middle section of reds, orange and yellow. Then a clear iridized cap. The column is made from an exotic wood called figured Bubinga- it shimmers almost as much as the Dichroic!

Wild Fire - Full Profile
The column is made of an exotic wood called Bubinga from Africa - it shimmers almost like dichroic in red, orange and honey brown. The lamp was so heavy I had to make wood clamps to hold it in place.

Fused Glass Switch Plate
An inlaid fused glass switch plate to add a little flair. made of Candy Apple Dichroic with a black base. I first tried a clear base but that didn't bring out enough color.

Major Curl
It is very rare to find curl like that, caused by stress in the wood while it is growing.

Exotic Wood Base
I had lots of fun designing the base- flames coming up the base and the 'hooves' made of slices of Bubinga and Wenge.

Shadow Fire
A little added bonus- when I first turned on the lamp, I realized the dichroic tips projected amazing flame patterns on the ceiling!
