Very nice Jerry! I had no idea that pear wood was any good.

Nice piece, Jerry; and well done.

I've turned two small bowls from pear and they both cracked miserably after I completed them. Looks like yours will hang in there.

I like the shape and orientation of this bowl, Jerry. Nice work! I tried on similar to this shape recently and it didn't survive. So I'm jealous, and inspired to try again...;)

Jerry your first one is an indicator of great things to come. I look forward to other beauts from you. You chose the correct finish to top it with.

Very nice looking piece of pear, Jerry. I think you've done wonderfully. Out of curiosity---what did you use for the reverse mounting to do the bottom treatment?

I used Bill Grumbine's method of a small wooden knob chucked in the scroll chuck and brought up the live center to support it. Then I GENTLY turned away the tenon.
