Nice Apples DD²... doesn’t have to be segmented for a neat take on a bowl.

Very nice, those have a very nice finish, and you picked a great color to match apples…

Looks like they would be comfortable in any kitchen setting. I see them quickly being “picked” and hoarded by anyone who sees them 8^)

Nice work DD!

Those are great looking! Very nice job, love the color.

Thanks everyone. This started as a fill in clean up shop project for fun and ended up everyone liking them.

Thanks Redoak49

Thanks Dan. Well a few got thrown out, most likely leftovers from can Koozies. Sometimes I have a problem of having more lumber than tools. But I’m working on it. Great problem I guess.

Thanks Tony. Throw a couple on the spinning machine and get rid of some scraps.

Thanks Eric. Little ideas are sometimes better than the big ideas. Fancy and too much thinking is not always better.

Thanks Ivan. I should of made the finish a candy apple finish. That’s too much work. hahaha

Thanks LBD. That’s a good idea for a segmented one. I’ll put it on the back list for some day. Not sure what you mean by Microsoft.

Thanks Mike. Yea that cranberry stain turned out better than I thought. I had to rub some off after it dried to keep more grain to show through. I wish I could remember the original project I purchased it for. LOL.

Thanks Splint. Two of the women said it would be good for to temporarily holding jewelry while cleaning. I may sneak a wooded one in the fruit bowl on the counter. See who tries to eat it first.

Thanks pottz. I get a grin when I look at them.

Thanks Dick. It must be the way the grain shows through on some. A couple look almost better than a real apple.
Maybe I should make a couple Granny Smiths. LOL.

Thanks Lee. It was good lathe time and time away from the tube.

Thanks adot45. Just glad people like them and maybe give them an idea also.

-- Dave, Downers Grove, Il. -------- When you run out of ideas, start building your dreams.

Very clever. After this project I think the stain color needs to be changed to Apple Red.
Well done.

They work better hollowed out or they could have made nice paper weights.

They must be the apple of your eye.

The color is nice and with the stems they are shaped like real apples
