Donor: Ruth K. Bauman (and the late Maynard Bauman)
Value: $100
Artistic maple burl bowl by award-winning St. Jacobs woodturner, and lifetime SJMC member, the late Maynard Bauman (d. 2023).
Natural bark edge. Food grade finish. Artist’s signature. Dimensions: 11″x10″x3″. (A burl is the bulbous growth that sometimes forms on the side of a tree.)
Ideal to display as decorative artwork, or a vessel to hold fruit on your counter, or serve bread, crackers, or even your antique Christmas ornaments collection!
In 2020, Maynard and Ruth had set aside a bowl (the last of his inventory) to donate for the then planned SJMC GST Auction, subsequently cancelled due to COVID-19.
As Elmer Fudd says, “That’s all folks!”
