Chunk of Bradford Pear from a friend of mine. The tree was storm-damaged (taken completely down) and I only got about three halfway decent pieces of any size. The first was a NE bowl that I gave to his wife, and this is the second. This chunk has 5 piths in it that all held together (so far - knock on wood).

It's about 7" wide and about 5" tall. Sanded thru 600, one thin coat of gel poly and buffed.
