This sure is a neat piece! It was made from a piece of apple, and the base is ringed with sap wood. In addition, it looks like there are three black fingerprints smudged onto the base - really cool! This one was fun to turn because the shavings smelled like Golden Delicious apples! We're asking $25 for this one, plus shipping. Pay Pal, checks and money orders are fine. Thanks for looking!
