    The apple and arrow...I have the life sized version,made in Church Brampton, England.Bought 20 years ago and its a real talking peice. The man that made it, told me the way he makes them is that the apple is made from any hardwood, the arrow is any softwood,that is then soaked for weeks/a couple of months until it becomes malible.It is then squeezed and pushed through the hole, made in the hardwood apple, allowed to dry and then carved.2 solid peices. it still fascinates me :)

      DuneDemon8 is right. There are quite a few trinkets like this, which can be all cut from one piece of wood.
      I think it would be a better trick if the arrow was longer so you could inspect the entire length of it and see that it is solid, not glued together.

      I'd have thought that particular arrow is two pieces because it doesn't show the shaft.
      If you made it out of one piece it would seem counter-productive to paint the apple.
      Plus the point seems to have thin blades which could screw in easily with the soaking method.
