Has anyone had a custom light fixture commissioned before? I found a chandelier I adore for our master bedroom, but it's way too big for the space (older house has small bedrooms). I searched around and couldn't find a smaller version quite like it.

For kicks I put up a quote request at custommade.com. Only received one response, from a carpenter. He has good reviews and I like the pictures he's posted of his work, and he looks to have a real passion for his craft, which I appreciate. My only concern is the electrical component.

Is there any reason to be concerned about a carpenter crafting a light fixture? Electrical safety concerns I mean.
