Bradford Pear Slimline

[Nate Davey]

Well, were it not for the worm trails, this would have been one boring pen. I think Bradford Pear would be better used as inlays. Sanded to 600 grit, EEE and 3 coats Shellawax. Criticism and advice gladly accepted.

That looks good. Wait for it to spalt and it looks really cool.

Yep, Bradford Pear is plain as it gets. Not much in grain or shading. I had three large trees in my yard a few years ago, wind storm took them down.
Made a few small bowls and couple pens, still boring unless you can use the knots or crotch areas.
