[Woodcarver] Apple

[Brian Barber]

HI Tim

I just finished carving a pipe in apple.  The wood I used was a crotch from 
a pruned branch with the water spout carved into a stem.
It is hard, but the grain real fine and closed.  I thought it carved 
good,  tho on the hard side,  but not worse than black walnut or Koa I have 
carved.
I did carve it with a knife too.
It is posted on webshots in my 2005 alblum.
