Are any plans available for FLW style furniture like the barrel chair or accent pieces like lamps?
This post by Wayne Watling is old but worth digging back up. BEAUTIFUL work.

The only place I have heard of plans are ebay. For the lamp specifically as well. That may have been in that post you linked though.
Here's the lamp plan:

Also, check out this book:

Dave, I have book/plans that are an excellent tutorial that shows how to build the lamp and has blue printed plans all in one. The book is 45 pages and is in a large printed spiral binder. It’s called “Wood Working Plans for a Hillside Table Lamp by John Loeffelholz”. If you can find one of these books it makes making one of these lamps very easy it even shows you how to wire it as well.

Check out bookfinder.com. They list multiple sellers of out of print books. Alibris does the same thing.
Here, are his other 3 books I was talking about. I have all 3 and they all are good reference books on how to build these lamps.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the compliment and good luck with the lamp, I'm sure you will be pleased with the result. Its a project that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end and the bonus was the finished product which will add character to any room.
If you have any questions regarding construction or materials I'd be pleased to answer. The actual name given to this lamp is 'Taliesin III Table Lamp' and as far as I can tell here is an actual reproduction of the lamp. If you study my version or the version in the plan by John Loeffelholz they differ slightly to the original.

Dave,
Here are a few measurements to get you started, the rest are quite easy to work out. Black cherry was used for that project but I am considering a more exotic timber for the next one or even a mixture of 2 different woods.
Here are some other pics that display how I routed out the center of that pole for the fixtures and wiring:

Would like to see your finished work so post some pics if you get a chance.
Regards,
Wayne
