Snowdrop Lamp
CustomMade by Ben Whitbeck
This lamp is inspired by the Snowdrop flowers that pop up in my back yard in the early spring.
The stem and blossom frame are made of Sapele (the darker wood) and the shades are Maple(the lighter color). I use pegged toung and groove joinery to hold the curves of the frame together.
The thin
… shades are the highlight of my lamps. This shade is a very thin slice of Maple that with the lamp off contrasts beautifully with the frame and with the lamp on you see the rosy pink glow and the unusual transparency that will draw you in for a closer look.
My lamps have a satin polyurethane finish that protects the wood and makes them easy to clean. All electrical components are "U.L." tested. This lamp measures about 15 x 9 inches wide and 22 inches tall. My pieces are completely handmade by me in my shop here in Greenfield Mass.
I love custom orders. If you like one of my pieces but think a different wood type or size would be better for your living room, contact me. I'll be happy to help.

Chuppah
by Gregory C. May 07th 2012
From the moment that Ben reached out to us with interest in our project we knew he would be good fit to build our chuppah. He was very responsive to ALL our emails and provided updates throughout the entire process. The finished chuppah was even better than I imagined it would be, he even provided hand drawings and detailed instructions on how to put it together. Next time we have a project that requires wood working we will definitely be in touch with Ben. Thanks so much!!!!!

custom made built in dresser
by Deb C. Apr 04th 2012
It was phenomenal to work with Ben. His bid was fair, and the workmanship was fantastic! He checked and double checked dimensions with my contractor, and created the exact piece of furniture that we wanted positioned in a recessed area. It fit perfectly, and it is constructed beautifully. He delivered it exactly when he said he would, and it was in pristine condition. If or when we need any other custom built piece, we will immediately turn to Ben. I don't have a picture just yet to share, but I will be happy to do so, when my time permits. Thank you Ben!!!!

Bookcase & Matching Shelf
by Rich Mar 16th 2012
Ben did a great job making my bookcase. He started from a post-it-note sketch I did and delivered something which was spot on to that initial "specification". He was a great communicator and the back and forth dialog was rich and productive (including sketches back from Ben). The resulting product was delivered to my office looking exactly like I had envisioned it. I am very happy.
