Apple box.....

[Michael Stafford]

Here is my first box turned from apple. This piece of wood came from my buddy Dick Parr who sent me some wonderful chunks of wood perfect for turning boxes.

I found apple to be a little splintery and I had to be careful while turning near any sharp corners to avoid chip out. This box is a smidgeon over 2" in diameter and is about 2 1/2" tall. Polished up like glass. Thanks for looking.:D

[Glenn Hodges]

This is another beauty! I really like the figure in the wood and the color of it.

[Dennis Peacock]

Well, at least somebody can keep apple wood together.!!!! I haven't turned a piece of apple yet that hasn't split or severly cracked.:(

Very nice work and I love the colors in this wood.

[Keith Burns]

Another wonderful box. I like the form, wood, fit and finish!:)

[Carole Valentine]

Love it! I have never turned Apple but I sure have seen some pretty things made from it.

[John Hart]

I love the little flame on it. It looks like it's sitting on the stove! Very pretty lil' Box Mike!

[Dick Parr]

Nice Box, Mr. Boxmaster :D

[Alan Turner]

I have never worked apple, but do admire it. The pre WWII Disstons are distinguished from the post WWII saws (Beech) by their apple handles. Much color variation,but a wondrfully smooth, comfortable wood in the hand. Nice box!

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Very nice, Mike. Good grain match, too.
