Here is a Pear wood box I turned today. It measures 2.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches high. It was wet sanded with mineral oil up to a grit of 320. I used a home made texturing tool in the top of the lid, and I used a Sorby texturing tool on the sides of the lid and the canister body. That crack was not visible when I started turning this box. It was exposed as I cut away the wood to shape the sides. I decided to leave it. The lid doesn't fit as tight as I'd like. You win some, you lose some. There will more of these boxes made from this Pear wood. It's a pleasure to turn, finishes nicely. I like it a lot.
