The very first wooden chandelier made with a river type pour using cherry wood and black metallic epoxy.
I planed to 1/2” thickness and cut it in 6 pieces.
I then built a top and bottom frame to keep the 6 sides parallel and 60 degrees.
After attaching the sides to the frame. I used pallet walnut wood I purchased about 30 years ago to build the dividers between the sides.
I finished the top and bottom with decorative routed walnut.
The finished used is Arm-R-Seal poly.
This chandelier was challenging. My wife and her mathematics skills in the beginning of the project was double the size. We ended up having to reconfigure to a smaller size which required disassembling and cutting the wood down for a smaller sized lighting in the kitchen niche. A very patient man who wasn’t going to give up and successfully made the chandelier smaller . Another masterpiece family heirloom. Signed by the master craftsman , Jerry Carr
Woodworking is his passion. And he never builds the same thing twice. He uses no plans and the concept most times is a “doodle sketch”. My hubby can build anything and everything. You will never see a duplicate. Each piece of furniture is numbered and signed. I love everything my husband has built. He has done incredible projects and never had a wood working lesson in his life.
