Apple wood bowl, cedar spoon

Hey Mike
I like the contrast in the wood . Did it smell like apple pie. Hope your lathe gets well.

Mike…..

It’s amazing what some old junk wood looks like when you spot that little insignificant piece and it turns out how your bowl did. I agree with Jim, the contrast in the wood is what makes that bowl!

Nothing to it Pat. Gotta try it, you would be a natural. Find a class somewhere close. There as thick as flys. You can’t swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting a lathe class somewhere. Boy that’ll get me into trouble with somebody. Thanks for the kind remarks everyone. m

“Cat by the tail”? Exxon had their “tiger in the tank” and someone ended up sabotaging their Valdez… so watch out. Is that the ‘usual’ look of apple wood? I always imagined it to be good looking (like your bowl) but never saw anyone use it. I used European Pear wood and it cut like butter. Did the apple cut nicely???

Nice job Mike. Glad you are busy making things. Sorry about the lathe. I asked a question on the bench project.

Apple wood cut like a dream but was still a little green.

Nice bowl and spoon. I’ve got to get back to my lathe one of these day – I have some Japanese Plum that I’ve been anxious to try to turn into a bowl. I don’t know how it will look, but I’ve heard that the Japanese Plum turns and looks great – like the Apple. Glad to see you are getting back into the shop.,

Thanks Joe and Dick and Barb, it’s supposed to be better than it used to be. My cousin just went through it for Lukemia and said his was’nt that bad. I don’t know if he was just trying to make me feel better though. Thanks for the compliments, good wood for off the wood pile. Found some nice cherry too.
