apple.jpg This is a small trunk of an apple tree we cut down some time ago. Even though it was treated it split as you can see. I'd like to cut it in half through the crack to make two small bowl blanks. Normally I'd use my chain saw but this is pretty small and would be hard to hold. I've seen people stand a blank upright and cut on a band saw but that makes me nervous. I'm not sure what type of blade to use. I'm sure the base would have be perfectly flat so the blank wouldn't rock at all. How would you cut the blank in half through the pith to make two little bowl blanks.
Our five grandchildren have through the course of years helped us pick apples from this tree. I'd like to make each a small bowl or dish to have as a remembrance.
