Mary Devlin, the proprietor of the Escanaba Old City Hall, had this
really ugly lamp that was in desperate of a new base. Long story short,
we settled on making a new base out of maple burl on a turned walnut platform.
And here it is:

All that was left was to figure out what to do with the remaining burl? Well, how
about stabilizing it and making a collection of burl bowls!

I really love the look of maple burl.
These will be on display in the East Ludington Gallery in Escanaba, MI.
