Just peachie!

This was a bit of a suprise. Terry Q. gave me these blanks months ago. They are dry now, and I turned this blank first. I don't know what I expected from a peach tree, but it's pretty unusual for fruit wood.

Turned out nice, Rich. Was it cut on the bias?

Rich....That's one Peach of a pen. Really nice job. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'll look closer at peach trees from now on, this is a nice pen.

I think it was just a straight cut from a limb. A couple of the blanks have a really small pith section just on the edge.

Nice job Rich. That means that my blanks are dry enough to turn.[] Peach and Apricot have some very interesting grain and are a dream to turn.

Nice Rich, makes me wish again I could have gotten to my mother's old peach tree before it rotted.

Very nice... now I have to finally cut that peach log that has been sitting in the shop for over a year.. [] Don't fruit woods turn sweet...
Got a nice surprise from MDWine (Mike) yesterday... he stopped over on his way back from a Black Powder Shoot and gave me a big chuck of Plum tree... and some planter boxes I needed... the wood looks real good even under the waxing on the ends... Thanks Mike...

Thats a very nice pattern, a really attractive pen!
Nice job, Rich!!

[] My pleasure, Tom!! I'm glad I could give something back!

(I didn't go home exactly empty handed either! ...Thanks again!)

Great looking pen. Fruit woods are neat to turn.

My favorite is apricot....very nice grain and a little darker. The peach turned out nice...plum is a nice wood also. I never pass up the chance to get some fruitwood.
Do a good turn daily!

Gorgeous looking grain! Simple but eye catching. Nice job.

Nice find Rich. I have a large branch drying right now. Maybe I'll break into it a little early.

 

[jdavis]

Peachie I'd say.

Rich,

There is something about that pen that just does it for me! Beautiful!

Scott.

good job! I also like the way the grain turned out.

Thanks everybody, I've started contacting orchards around here looking for a supply of the peach. I'll let you know.
