Thanks tuffy! I do like turning Apple Wood. Turns easy and pretty wood. Had a PT visit yesterday and he ok'd for bike riding. We went on an overnight camping trip and went for a short 8 mile ride along the Willamette River. Will do it again today before heading home. Thanks for watching. Gary

I always enjoy seeing you turn a live edge bowl. I have a couple of small apple trees that are going to be removed shorty. Guess they will be joining the wood collection for turning in the future. As always thanks for sharing with us Gary. Cheers Bruce

Thank you Bruce. I think any size of apple will look good when turned. I know people turn crab apple and I think it is a small tree. Have fun, Gary

Thank you very much Mark. I am sure you will not have to wait that long. I did because I had it in the back of my shed and just never paid attention to the fact it was still there because it was not that special looking. Well that is what I thought and I was sure wrong. Thanks for watching, Gary
