Thread: Bradford Pear NE HF

  1. Bradford Pear NE HF

    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.

    Nice job of turning. Good finish while keeping the natural edge on a hollow form. Good figure in the wood.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
