Apple, apple, why you so cracking?

A large applewood log- this one had many cracks. I almost gave up, but decided to use Starbond ca glue.

That bowl looks like it's just waiting to be filled with somebody's favorite chips! Thanks for the video, Peggy.

[@PFWoodturning]

I think so too!

[@carolriley8472]

Very pretty...love the bark inclusion!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@stefangreis2616]

So gorgeous, Peggy.....thats such a lovely bowl. Apple absolutely is my favourite Wood......

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@travisgreen3533]

Beautiful bowl. My wife and I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the fun.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated ✌️

[@ralphhorne6063]

Beautiful turning Peggy. One day I’d love to turn some apple wood.✌️

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@DevendrPrajapati]

My new KZbin channel spot me 🙏🙏🙏

[@passinthru5992]

I just picked up two apple wood bolts a few minutes ago,came in the house,kicked back in my chair,opened utube and you turning an apple bowl. Interesting. I like your bowl and hope mine looks as nice. Thank you

[@PFWoodturning]

✌😎

[@scottgm321]

Very pretty. Glad you didn’t toss it in the fireplace. Thanks for the video.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Peggy. Gorgeous Applewood bowl. Thank goodness for CA glue.

[@PFWoodturning]

Exactly!! 😎✌️

[@JohnWilliams-iw6oq]

I love getting pieces of wood that nobody else wants and turning them into something useful or decorative and like you I use a lot of CA glue to fill cracks. For me it gives a feeling of satisfaction and a finished piece that is even more unique. Well done Peggy, a very enjoyable show.

[@PFWoodturning]

Right on!

[@raydriver7300]

It’s very pretty, Peggy. I sat down with a coffee to watch your video. Now I’m going into my workshop to turn perfectly respectable pieces of wood into shavings and sawdust. I might also manage to make a bowl 🌞

[@PFWoodturning]

Have fun!

[@crystalswenson8844]

Beautiful bowl, Peggy. I just finished saying (to myself) that I love the bottom when you said the same thing. Great minds really do run on the same track!

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes! Thank you!

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...very nice...I love all the character in this piece...it keeps things interesting...👍 Matt

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stugixer57]

Lovely bowl…..I have a friend who’s a wood turner, he keeps saying I should have go, when I see your videos I must admit to being very tempted!

[@PFWoodturning]

Go for it!

[@markbrown1011]

Glad to see you back on a regular basis, hope everything is healing fine for you. Enjoyed watching the video of the apple bowl, really like the fine edge of the live rim.

That is a beaut. Lovely finish Peggy.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

I really like this one Peggy. I wasn't sure about all those cracks, but you did a great job with the bowl. I look forward to your next project.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@christineplucker6959]

Very nice bowl Peggy. Glad you didn’t chuck it into the firewood pile. Contrast if the light wood and dark Starbond is outstanding!!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you kindly✌️

[@liam0jade]

That bowl turned out beautiful Peggy😊

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@williamellis8993]

Great bowl, Peggy. It looks like it could almost (yes, almost) hold enough popcorn (lol). Bill

[@PFWoodturning]

Oh yes!

[@careywatson1593]

This is a sensational piece. Easily your best and that is saying a lot. Also, I was watching a national weather report and I am glad I live in Washington state. On Saturday the high is expected to be 51 and the low 41 with a little bit of rain. On Saturday in Caribou, Maine the low is expected to be MINUS 21 WITH A WIND CHILL BRINGING IT DOWN TO MINUS 54. BRRRRRR

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks. Yes, it’s been very cold in Maine!!🥶

[@gregjones2217]

Beautiful bowl. Elegant in its simplicity Thanks for sharing.

[@PFWoodturning]

[@todddembsky8321]

Love the live edge on the bowl. One more item for the Peggy Hall of Bowls 🙂

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Todd!

[@trurex007lee7]

Very nice, thought the big crack’s would have been a big distraction, but the quality and design of the turning compensated.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

Lovely bowl with very nice color and the finish is very nice! I have been told that fruit wood cracks are caused by stress on the wood from when the tree was producing fruit! Any way well done and thanks! Cheers Al

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great bowl. I love the way apple turns, wet or dry. Such a tight grained wood. Your pile of ribbons there at the end are so typical of apple. In fact, I have an apple blank sitting on the lathe now. It needs to wait for a small project to get done, but then it’s on like Johnny Appleseed. Well done Peggy!

[@PFWoodturning]

[@PFWoodturning]

It was!

[@mandicoleman7433]

That's a beautiful bowl

[@PFWoodturning]

😊 thanks

[@WhiskeyDale]

that is a YUGE piece of Applewood. I would love to get my hands on Apple wood that big.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, it is. I think it's the largest piece of apple I have.

[@christopherhathaway6767]

That is beautiful! Would be appropriate to put some apples in it! I purchased the Ack's paste and polish on your recommendation and I love that stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@PFWoodturning]

👍 Awesome! It's great stuff (Ack's)!

[@paulbombardier8722]

Really cool look...the grain and the colors of the wood is superb. Thanks for another beautiful piece.

[@fretless05]

It really came out beautifully! I agree with you, the color of the wood (or bark?) on the bottom is really striking.

Thanks very much!

[@lonniedupont]

Nice bowl! I'll have to send you some of the apple I have. It's got a rich red color for the heartwood.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool!

[@jeanlong4285]

Pretty bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@jerrydempsey3490]

Very nice bowl Peggy. I especially like the live edge. Reminds me a bit of Phil Anderson. I would like to see more live edge work too. Best wishes from Ohio.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!!

[@bigboy9706]

Beautiful bowl. I was hoping you were gonna keep more of the live edge on the rim. But it still turned out awesome.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@adriennefraschetta5391]

I agree the bottom is the best.

[@PFWoodturning]

✌️👍🏻

[@billm4560]

Peggy that turned out beautiful as usual! 👌You think those cracks might open up over time? Thank you for sharing! ✌️

[@PFWoodturning]

We shall see! Thanks for watching!

[@martinrayner4903]

I like it

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@123hurst3]

I have heard that all the fruitwoods are prone to cracking. I twice turned some Bradford Pear and eventually lost half to cracks (they were cracking while I was turning because of the Texas heat). Maybe turning to final thickness in one go (keeping it wet with a spray bottle) is the solution. It may turn into a potato chip as it becomes fully dry. I do kind of like the distorted look on a finished bowl.. Good video, thank you.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, lots of cracks. Thanks for watching ✌️

[@123hurst3]

@@PFWoodturning Peggy, I understand you have a Sorby Pro Edge for sharpening. Do you find any disadvantages when cutting due to the flat grind?

[@alanbutler1657]

Yet again another great turn, nice to see the Apple wood, one of my favourite woods to turn if I can get it. How long did it take to turn this awkward piece?

[@PFWoodturning]

Hours...

[@gary8033]

Awesome looking bowl Peggy. I've never turned apple wood, does it really turn as easy as it looks? Thanks again for your channel!

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes it does!

[@paulathompson5860]

nice

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks

[@janeoverby2151]

Man, that is pretty.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@SP4Parks]

Hey Peggy, are you the only one that turns in your family ? Another good one . My little Jet 12X21 is down , it just stopped running. I ordered a power switch and if that doesn't work I guess it will go to repair shop. Anyway now I can catch up on video's.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, I'm the only one. Fingers crossed for your power switch to work!

[@paulmcintire8980]

Beautiful job Peggy. Your PVC lathe tool holder, where did you find the design/plans for it? I need to make one.

[@PFWoodturning]

No plans, I just made it.

[@richardmoran8581]

As always awesome job! I believe that I learn something from every one of your shows, please keep up the great work from another mainer.

[@PFWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@normagene514]

Very nice! What thickness did you get it to? Looks like a 1/4” or less.

[@PFWoodturning]

The top is less than a 1/4” for sure, as it goes down it gets thicker.

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Nice job, looks great. I’m not a fan of fruit woods for that reason

[@PFWoodturning]

I understand👍🏻

[@Dore60]

👍

[@PFWoodturning]

✌️

[@davidqualls7651]

Nice. You need a bowl saver tool. You wouldn’t have all those shavings and you would have a couple more nice bowls.

[@PFWoodturning]

You're right!

[@orgcoast5990]

What is your reason for not wearing a glove during the roughing operations?

[@PFWoodturning]

No reason, I probably should have though.

[@michaeljmcd50]

Beautiful bowl Peggy, Do you have a coring system? Just a waste of lovely material.

[@PFWoodturning]

No, unfortunately I don't.

[@davidbockel5749]

Is that a 3/4" or a 5/8" gouge?

[@PFWoodturning]

I have both and use both.

[@terrytamanauskas852]

Tried using the total boat discount and does not work says INVALID! 🤷‍♂️

[@PFWoodturning]

Hmmm....let me check on that.

[@terrytenley9327]

Because it’s a fruit wood it is prone to cracking..

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, indeed!
