    Where's The WORM???

    The color looks very apple-like on my computer... Looks like there should be a worm coming out of that bark inclusion.
    Seriously _ I like this... I've started playing with color, but don't even have green - maybe I'll get some.

    Thanks Steve. Wasn't sure if you used water or DNA.

    I love the form, love the wood, and the green, well it makes my mouth water for a green apple Jolly Rancher!

    Beautiful piece Steve. Doesn't take much to go from a turning to art, which of course will bring a higher price. Well done.

    These just get better and better. I did like the cherry red one better (probably because of the color), but the big inclusion on this is really cool.

    Beautiful piece Steve. The color really makes the piece stand out and the added figure in the wood enhances the overall look. Ain't this fun!

    Couldn't get this piece off my mind. Saw a form Cody posted on the red cedar thread. Turned a similar one and then thought about your green apple. Decided to try my hand at dying. Will post if not disgusting.

    Steve, that is so neat! Thanks for letting see this and telling us how you did it. I have seen pictures of scroll sawn work dyed with Rit but it looked like paint and never really gave it a second thought. Hope you don't mind if I borrow your idea, its just to good to pass up!

    Looks like on I did a year ago or so

    Steve, This one reminds me of one a did a year or so ago, but mine was a bit taller and had a contrasting collar. Green is one of my favorite colors, because it relates to money!!! You have done your self proud again! Here is the one I did for your to remember.

    Great work,

    Jeff

    Wow!! A matching pair. Both pieces are simply stunning. I'm a big fan of green too. Must be from having served in the Army for all those years. I think I like the Rit dye better than the SolarLux that I used. I might have to pick some up. Maybe I'll try purple.
