Once Upon an Apple Tree
By Jack Masten
North Creek, NY

In order to make room for the building of our new fellowship hall at the Calvary Bible Church in Wevertown, NY, a mature apple tree was removed. Being a wood hoarder, I salvaged a few pieces to make some keepsakes for church members. One of the projects was a wooden body pen for the pastor. This pen project turned into a weekly Saturday afternoon get together based around learning to turn.
