I've turned some smaller apple bowls, and while they did turn very easily,
they also warped a lot. But I think that adds some character to bowls
myself. Pix at http://www.woodenschu.com/natural.htm in the upper left-hand

Thanks to nature (wind) and my neighbor (cum chainsaw), I've just acquired
a
sizeable lot of apple wood. Some of the pieces are 20-24" in diameter,
most
roughly 14", and the heartwood is a medium red/brown.

Any thoughts on turning apple? Ease? Precautions? Finishing?

TIA,
Max
