    Smile Apple bowl again

    While I have the pictures uploaded on my Mac here, I’ll show you another one.This is made from a chunk of Applewood that had small twigs and branches on the log, it has also more different colors and striping, the twig and branches where a bit of a challenge to keep them from checking, there is still some, but no bad ones, I don't think that the wood is going to move anymore after all the years it already sat and was influenced by the changing cycles of temps and humidity every year/seasons

    This one is about 11” X 2”
    All comments welcome

    Leo, I like this one the best of the three, the others are also very beautiful. I like your shape on all of the bowls.
    When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.

    I really like it, Leo. We had a very old, huge apple tree go down last December and saved most of it for turning. It's such a beautiful wood, with all that color in it. Your bowl really shows it off.

    Thanks Jamie , the large fruit trees are going the way of the Dodo, all the old orchards are and even the newer low stem ones are renewed, now we have hardly any of the large trees left over, not much turning wood on the new ones anymore
    Have fun and take care
