I love turning green wood when I can get it. In this case, a microburst blew down a neighbor's pear tree. Ornamental pear is often called Bradford Pear. After helping clear the trunk from my neighbor's back yard, I had several pieces to turn. This wood cam from a half section of that wood.

I rough turned the bowl, sealed it and put it away. Periodically, I weighed it and recorded the weight. From August 2019 to February 2021, the wood lost 31% of its weight. That loss is typical in my experience for fresh green wood.

The finished bowl is 10 inches diameter and 4 inches tall. Walnut oil provides a matt finish.

Enjoy!
