These bowls are from an old piece of Apple wood I had saved many years ago and recently rediscovered. (click on the above image to see a larger version) I turned a small bowl from this wood in an earlier post. Here are two more. The darker wood is pretty hard wood and the lighter wood is very soft. This was not fun to turn and even worse to sand and finish. Still, these didn't come out too bad. They almost look like they're made of stone, with that rough texture in the tear-out in the lighter wood. To my eye they are things of simple beauty.
