The apple is about the same size as an ordinary apple and I just used some gloss red paint on them. Making the apple is the easy part to turn out on the lathe in about 10 to 15 minutes. The stem on the apple is a short piece of leather shoe lace glued into a little hole with CA.
The arrow takes a little longer because it has to be both turned and scroll sawed.

Yes, basswood will work just fine for the arrow.
Most any wood will work for the apple. I used maple because a friend gave me a bunch of it and maple turns real nice on a lathe.
