Woodturning - Twice Turned Pear Bowl

In this week’s woodturning video, Harry and I and the local community experienced a pretty crazy thunderstorm a few months back that had some very high winds.
Later that day after the storms had passed Harry suggested we head out as good Samaritans and help cut up downed trees. I knew immediately Harry just wanted to go get some fresh snacks.
As we drove around the neighborhood, we picked up some oak, magnolia, a large chunk of pine, and other various unknown woods. I decided to drive through a newer subdivision thinking they might have some interesting ornamental trees. As I was passing by houses I spotted a brush pile ahead…..the wood had a very bright orange color. I stopped and stepped out of the truck and Harry leaped into the pile. After Harry had a taste he knew it immediately was Bradford Pear!
We decided to create a nice bowl from this amazing wood.
We hope you enjoy the video!

Pear makes such a beautiful color. Thanks for posting. 👍

[@jimneely4527]

Pear is such a great wood to work with. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeanlong4285]

Beautiful, simple, the best.

[@jamesbrunk9817]

You make it look so easy.

[@jackthompson5092]

A very beautiful bowl Robert.

[@albertdawson6814]

You are a very good wood turner. The video was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Robert. The finish brought out some nice color and grain. I didn't see any of Harry's teeth marks on it. Even better.

[@wardwilson3216]

Beautiful bowl. Glad Harry did gnaw't chew on it

[@TheMessyStudio]

Great looking bowl, Robert!

[@jkurbanski6475]

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful bowl. Well done!

[@MASI_forging]

Beautiufl bowl. You have done a great work 👍👍

[@cookiescoop6065]

Very beautiful sir

[@mnp1964]

Nice job Robert you tell Harry that beavers don't eat Pear wood and their favourite snack is white popular or it's other name aspen so he should just stick to that type maybe some nice willow is good for him to

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Nice bowl,mate, though I'm surprised you didn't core the blank out as you could have got two more bowls out of it, therefore improving your profits,. Stii, it's your choice to make. Cheers.

[@billm4560]

That turned out really nice Robert! 👍🏻 What kind of scraper were you using? Thank for sharing your fine work! 👌

[@holzweg666]

High Harry, how long did you have to wait with the amount of wax until the bowl was dry? It turned out well, beautiful in its simplicity. And remember, don't nibble on it. 😄 Many greetings from Northern Germany, and…. oh yes, there are also some beavers here. Relatives of yours?

[@allanblair4210]

Loved the bowl but loved the scraper more! Where did you get it?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

[@billy19461]

What was the name of the scraper that you were using. Loved the bowl & try to never miss an video.

[@DancingFox6]

The tool you are using at 12:35 appears to be flat with a (round?) tip. I’ve only seen one similar sold in Europe and they don’t ship to the US. May I ask what it is and where it came from?
I couldn’t find it in your materials list - apologies if I had just only missed it.
