The next two shots of the first Potpourri dish I made of Spalted maple.

The two photos below are of a matching set.  On the left is an oil lamp made of the same piece of Spalted Maple as the Potpourri dish on the right.   I purposely kept the bark on the top.  This spalted maple was locally cut.

The three photos below are of a larger potpourri dish.  This was sold.

Another potpourri dish.

And still another.  These were all made from the same hunk which was the bottom of a stump that had rotted a bit before being harvested.  The rotting gives the wood its interesting characteristic of course.  I still have enough of this stump for a couple more as well as a nice lamp that I plan to turn.
