Bradford pear turning (PIC)
Mike Schwing from Maryland
>Smallish, novelty sized. Maybe 4"x2.5" Finished by sanding to 12000 micromesh, one coat of laquer based sanding sealer, then Hut Crystal Coat.
First time I turned pear - very smooth cutting, very easy to polish.

>Hey Mike, That's a fantastic job. Great job of keeping all the bark on and the base is cool. I like your bases on your bowls. It's your signature. Alan in Md.

>Man, I like everything about that! I have used BLO in an attempt to get the bark darker (say that 3 times fast) and still didn't get the great contrast you have there...
I really like that base too.... and the slight curve from the base to the rim...
Thanks for posting that... I learn a TON from these pics!
