"This is the only mulberry burl I have come across that had any size to it, so I wanted to make a larger piece to demonstrate its rarity." To create the mirrorlike finish, Van Duyn used nitrocellulose lacquer, hand-rubbed to an ultra gloss. For more of his hollow forms and furniture, go to vanduynwoodwork.com. A hobbyist, Byrkett began this glass-topped table in an apprenticeship class with Michael Fortune at the Marc Adams school, developing the design, steam-bending the ash, and cutting the joinery under Fortune's guidance. He did the final shaping and finishing at home. The top is clear, tempered glass with a flat polished edge.
