Towards the end of the year Bradford Pear started appearing all over the place. From a neighbor just down the street that was completely re-landscaping her yard and from the yard of the Granola Girl in Lawrenceville.
I love turning this wood and the color is, well, just great if you ask me. I aos like how the edge has the ability to wrap and bend. What I do not like is the sanding, sanding, sanding it takes to get the color and grain exposed.
It does have a tendency to crack around the edge a bit during the drying process and this round of bowls I decided to trim them away rather than filling them in. I like the affect.
This is a pretty large bowl very suitable to use as a salad bowl for four. I think the V’s will be great places to place the bowls fork and spoon.
This bowl is off to a home nestled in the Shenandoah Valley. John I hope you enjoy it!
