Thanks, Don

>Folly, Tommy? Pear-ish the thought! I think it looks great, and it will certainly be a conversation piece. Very well done - it certainly has the ap-pear-ance of the real thing. ;-) And with that pear of puns, I will depart.

PS I got your email, and will respond shortly. A fine use for that piece of wood.

Very nice, Tommy!!

>That really looks great. I would imagine it weighs a good bit so it could also be used as a battering ram (at my house anyway). As always Tommy....your whimsy and creativity are an inspiration to us wanna be's. I can't wait to see the cauliflower ears, asparagus spears, oh....and a hot dog?

Well done!

>Tommy,

That is a very realistic looking pear. From the pictured you would not know if it were large or small just that it is a pear. You need to turn a fruit bowl as big as a dining room table now to hold all the different fruits.

Thanks for showing it.

What a pair you've got there!

Dominic Greco in Richboro PA

>Nicely done Tommy! Looks real to me.

next you could make a bunch of cherries out of pear wood, and then an orange from apple wood.

See ya,

Dominic

Giant pair w/pics...I expected...

>Awesome, the paint finish is really convincing too. Look forward to seeing more in this series.

Folks: it's a fake fake.

>Since the picture has no coin or pencil for scale, how do we really know it is "large"? Hmm? And considering the author's, er, reputation for flummery and Tomfoolery, I think it is fair to conclude that what we have here is a pear masquarading as a fake pear. It is well known that one of the best ways to hide is right out in front of everyone and this pear has obviously heard about the trick.

Nice try Tommy. Nice square base though.

Ain't foolin' this fellar. I know a fake pear when I see one.

Inadvertent scale

Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level

>Doubting Thomas huh?

Well, unintentionally I did include a scale! Look at the picture again, right behind it is the 8" siding on my garage.

If that doesn't satisfy you then come and take a bite. Just remember...I won't cover your dental bills! ;-)

Tommy

One great pear.

>Hi Tommy,

I like the pear. You did a great job with the finish. Now let's see a hedge apple made out of Osage orange.
