Wendy, the Huge Maori Lamp is simply amazing! Unfortunately the day it arrived was the same day I found out that my father had collapsed and was rushed to he hospital. Needless to say I only had a few minutes with the lamp prior to my emergency travel. Fast forward a few days...dad is home and doing well after having two stents placed in two clogged arteries...and I am back home drooling over the Maori Lamp, Tiki Bob Statue, and Pufferfish necklace!

While I know it's been said a thousand times...pictures just don't do your incredible art justice. The visual depth and tactile nature of your work can only be truly experienced in person. However, I'll do my best with the following pics so that the folks can see how the Maori lamp turned out.

Here is the Maori lamp together with the family :)

The bamboo lamp shade, stem and pull were from an old lamp that no longer worked. A quick trip to Home Depot for the lamp wiring assembly...and we have light.

Again, pictures just do not do your work justice. The incredibly detailed carvings held me mezmorized for quite some time. Here is a close up to hopefully show off the front Maori carving just a bit

The Maori has an incredible feel and massive look to it. Here are a few photos from various angles that hopefully show just how massive this Maori Lamp is.



Wendy, thanks again for taking on my wish list item. We are so excited to have this Maori Lamp as the center piece of our rooftop/loft lounge. We cant wait for wish list #6.
