The maple was turned to about 3/4" thick and slightly concaved for good fit to the base. A #14 self tapping sheet metal screw 1 1/2" long was inserted into the center of the chuck. This is now a screw chuck.

Turn the base to a pleasing shape, realizing that the top will need to trasition into the shaft of the lamp.
