About the Penturning Artist
While Port Royal was the cradle of the apple industry in Nova Scotia, the apple has continued to play a major role in the economy of the Annapolis Valley. In May of each year, the Valley is bursting with the colorful pink and white blossoms of the apple orchards. The color of the apple wood ranges from a light tan to a rich deep brown. Some of the apple woods are cut on the end grain and show the light and dark colors to advantage. Under conditions of good cultivation and environment, apple trees can produce a bountiful of fruit from one hundred and fifty to two hundred years. The apple wood that I use was given to me as a gift for my 60th birthday. Two trees were harvested from an Acadian orchard in the District of Clare and are over 150 years old.
