They are an attempt to produce an apple that is similar to a MacIntosh but not as tart and good for both eating and baking (as well as able to withstand the cold weather that winters (other than this one) typically bring to Minnesota. hiro_lefty New Username: hiro_lefty Post Number: 2 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 1:02 pm:    Wow, it's great! And I would like to name this Skylark "Honeycrisp", how about it? sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2289 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 1:14 pm:    A beautiful guitar, the Alembic Sound, A tasty Apple ! Three reasons that are hard to resist ! "Honeycrisp" is a wonderful name ! Congratulations ______________ Wolf cousinvinnie Junior Username: cousinvinnie Post Number: 27 Registered: 4-2011 Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 1:25 pm:    Hammer thanks for the info ! I had no idea. Yeah I vote for Honeycrisp as a name. Mica, the finish dept should come up with some kind of cool trans honeycrisp glossy for future finishes. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7625 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, February 10, 2012 - 6:02 pm:    I see that Honecrisp has her sealer coats and she's sanded now, ready for the next coat of finish: I hope to get you another picture next week before it's sanded so you can see the grain. hiro_lefty New Username: hiro_lefty Post Number: 3 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 9:06 am:    Great! My Honeycrisp puts on her make up, and wondering what clothes to wear. I look forward to the next step. rustyg61 Advanced Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 392 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 2:21 pm:    I love that wood combination! You are going to have a beautiful guitar! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7685 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 5:51 pm:    Honeycrisp is in final cure now: It will just be waiting around for the next couple of weeks for the finish to fully harden and get in the queue for setup. I'll keep you posted as to when something happens next. Enjoy! rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 494 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 9:56 pm:    Gorgeous!

It takes a couple of days to get the export paperwork back from the government agencies, so it's likely to be something that ships next week. I will keep you posted by email, Hiro.
