Do not turn your back, the apple will split. Rough turn, anchorseal, set to
dry and pray for the best. The wood is gorgeous, a pleasure to turn, and
moves like a dream. It is great stuff for hollow turning as it ovals so
well. Sure some of it splits, but that is either a design feature or the
creator of some of the most beautiful looking and smelling kindling on
earth. I have been turning some lately and love it.

God bless and safe turning
