Small Pear Wood Dish

 

Here's a 4 inch diameter dish, 3/4 of an inch high, made from Pear wood. This wood is a real pleasure to turn. This was wet sanded with mineral oil up to a 400 grit, then burnished with its own shavings. The grain is subtle but beautiful.

I have some larger pieces of this wood from which I plan to make bowls. . . soon.
