                      Good Morning Oranges

This is my first fruit attempt with the lathe.
Matt helped me with these.

It's harvesting time.
This is what I ended up with. I might make one of them into a pomegranate depending on how successful the oranges end up. I really love working with the lathe! 
                                                
                                      The next step is to use the hand carving tools and give the orange some texture.

I'm going to carve them a couple different ways with varying amounts of peel.

Looking good Christina! I'm excited to see you carve into these little guys to start making them look more like fruit!
