The fixture
"Your search is over. The perfect linear light does exist.
When I build a light, I'm not chasing trends, fancy, or anyone's approval. I do it for the love of the craft — and to create something you'll feel proud to live with every time you walk into the room.
One goal. Build it right."
Built Different
Furniture Grade Wood
The housing is furniture-grade hardwood — walnut or white oak — built and finished by hand in our shop. The same material quality you'd find in a high-end cabinet or table.
Hardwood Plywood Face
Walnut, White Oak, or Black Oak plywood — each sheet finished with a clear satin conversion varnish. The grain reads differently in every light. No two are identical.
Glare-Free Output
A frosted acrylic diffuser eliminates glare and spreads 2,400 lumens of warm 3000K LED light evenly across your table, island, or workspace. Dimmable. CRI 90+. We use commercial grade LEDs from Alloy LED in California.
Two Hang Positions
Standard two-point hang, or center canopy for flexibility when your J-box doesn't land where you need it. Both options ship fully configured.
Custom Lengths
Standard sizes ship at fixed lengths — but we fabricate up to 94" in a single continuous piece. Email us for custom sizing on your project.
Made to Order
Every Wood Light Three is built after you order it. Four to six weeks. Worth it — we make everything one-of-a-kind, one-at-a-time. It's how we do it to ensure we give you the best we can.
