Now what would be really cool would be fruit made from the wood of the tree on which they are grown! Could be a bit hard with strawberries though.

Check your local markets. I know one guy up at the Tamborine markets here on the Gold Coast makes apples, oranges, even bananas and are brilliant. He also makes beer bottles and other similar items. There is also a guy sometimes at the Nerang markets.

Not exactly turning as such, but a simple effective way to make a wooden nana
