Downed Apple tree; what are it's project strengths?

[Jon Endres]

Apple was the very first wood I milled when I bought a Logosol mill back around 2002. I still have the boards, about 50 board feet of beautiful yet warped wood. I haven't found a good use for it yet. I'm kind of afraid to use it because it's nearly impossible to get actual boards from apple. I've used smaller pieces from the firewood pile for tool handles.

Apple is used for saw handles and carved for casting patterns.

Apple is a very nice wood for saw handles. Disston used beech for ordinary saws, and apple for the better ones.

Apple can be wonderful for woodturning, small or large. Fine grain, good color, sometimes great figure. Like other fruit woods it may indeed warp and crack while drying so seal well.

I sometimes use it to make small decorative inlays as part of a mosaic. The pieces I've gotten are usually too small to do much else with. So most of it goes into our barbeque smoke box.
