| Carved bear lamp/wood shade, $1,250 |
|
| Carved bear lamps
are an evolutionary extension of black forest
and other carvings. My
preference is to start with a rough-cut,
chain-sawed bear and then do the
final finishing work by hand.
The lamp-shades can either be leather,
bark paper, or in the case
of the shown here, an amber wood shade by a Wyoming artisan.
Cedar makes the
best lamps; it is amazing that each bear emerges
with its own
personality and rarely do two look alike.
