pear wood branches - what to make

[Shay Vings]

Just got some small well-seasoned branch wood 4in dia x 6in long. Bark is in good condition as well. Any suggestions?

goblets or boxes i would say, but then i would, i love making them, although never made a box yet...

Personally I'd make goblets but I hate doing boxes . If the bark is intact have a go at a natural edged one . Pearwood is lovely to turn. There are also weed pots, small pen holders, pens if your into them, bobbins, crochet hooks, finials for other things, hair sticks

Pears.

I like to see fruit turned from it`s own wood.

OK Shay? What did you do with the pear branch bits?

Life is full of coincidences !

I don't have any pear wood, but ironically this evening I took a pear to eat after supper and before chomping my way through it, I recorded its primary measurements for turning up a wooden one !!
