Last winter my brother and his wife decided to add on to their house, but there was an apple tree that had to come down. I told him I would help him cut it and take the wood to turn. I roughed out several pieces last December and this is the first one I finished. I am going to give it to my sister-in-law for her b-day in Dec. Now they can have their apple tree in their house!

I finished the bowl with antique oil and buffed it. It is 7" from tip to tip and 4.5" tall.

I got it done just in time for the Puyallup Woodcarvers show last weekend and took first place in the bowl category:D:D:D

Critiques welcomed!
