Baron Bowl
This unusual, eye-catching bowl was made from a piece of beautiful ambrosia maple obtained from the estate of esteemed woodturner Phil Brown. It features a burl, an abnormal growth in the tree which makes the grain go in all directions. It also had a defect, perhaps from an infection of some sort, which created a dark stripe through the piece with a few small holes. What a story this wood could tell!
Height: 2-1/2”
Diameter: 7-5/8”
Senior Research Ecologist with the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University, Dr. Jill Baron studies the effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on mountain ecosystems. She’s found that climate change is reorganizing alpine species assemblages and ecosystem processes. Active in national climate assessment efforts, she’s also given testimony to Congress about western acid rain and climate change issues.
