Pear plate

This large plate was turned from a dry piece of pear.
At first I wanted to keep the bark, but it came off pretty quickly into the turn, but once I've seen the color of the fresh wood under the oxidized layer, I was glad for it.
The wood was one of the most enjoyable I had worked with, the cuts long and smooth, and getting a clean surface with no tool marks was no problem at all.
With a couple of inclusions, it has the perfect look for any rustic kitchen or dining room, and the picture does no justice to the color and texture this piece has.
