>tek,
I like them both. Apple can do some funny things can't it. Have you tried turning them to finish size and then boiling them? You might give it a try sometime. I believe that you would see some of that warpage controlled a bit, not eleminated, but less of it.
Turn 'em round,

>The apple wood was free. I had nothing to lose but time, so I tried it. My wife's sister and her husband took the tree down and let me have all of it I wanted. I let some dry and made some pens and boxes and eggs from some of it. I still have some left. I hope to get some more somewhere I really like turning it. If they put the addition on their house, they will be cutting down some Holly. Guess where that will end up.
