Is Pear Wood Good For Woodworking ~ Woodshop Jigs And Tips

is pear wood good for woodworking

Well , i am somewhat dissapointed with what i was able to salvage out of those pear trees. i had no idea that those trees were planted in the early 1900's. i didnt even know pear trees ever got to that age. the guy that i got this wood from is retired now and said those were mature trees back in 1930 when his parents bought the acerage.. Pear wood is also, unlike almost any other hardwood, without figure. i say without figure meaning without the usual graphics of timber. pear wood is a timber that hasn’t lines running through it, but instead has a colour shift. the general colour of pear wood is almost dark fleshy colour, pinky brown is a favourite description.. Edit: aside: as many already know, the fruitwood from a standard pear tree is prized for use as wood for wood-molding planes in traditional woodworking circles. supporting the weight of the pear fruit makes a very strong, and slow growing wood when the tree is harvested. nothing cold be further from a bradford pear..
