This Pruned Limb Did Not Go to The Dump

Crabapple Limb BowlThis video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. Where best – Right Here of course!

While I was doing some fall pruning, I cut a small to medium limb off of a crab apple tree. As I prepared the wood to go into the garbage bin, the limb presented itself. Exactly how, I do not know.

But I realized although this was only a limb, perhaps I could turn some smaller projects from it. One crotch caught my eye since the wider area could yield a larger bowl than otherwise.

So I took the limb into the shop and turned this small bowl only about three inches in diameter.

Remember, the Christmas Ornament Challenge. Please get your ornament ready for this year’s challenge. It does not have to be fancy or perfect – this bell is neither fancy or perfect. However, it is a nice addition to the Christmas Ornament Challenge.

To enter the challenge, please go to the Challenges page.

Enjoy!

    Interesting video as I’m into “small”. Maybe I would have coloured the chopped off high limb. – black?

    Enjoy all your videos but prefer the old music!

    • Also a possibility. The old music was a problem because despite the music being about 100 years beyond copyright and performed by my sister, somebody kept making a copyright claim via YouTube’s automatic system.
      I don’t have the funds to fight it. So, I changed it.

    I watch all of your films. I now encourage my Woodies at the club to also watch and choose projects which I will help them with. The second club of which I am a member has chosen your “Ribbed and Holey” as a club project.
    Thank you,
