Uneven Pears

[Bryan Milham]

There has been a couple of postings of pears of late. So I thought I'd post a few of mine.

Laburnum pears but turned over two slightly different axis to give them the pear 'bent' shape. They do need to be finished off the lathe, so a bit of work with the Dremel and a small sanding drum.

I started doing them like this when I had a bit of branch with a bend in it I did not want to waste, since then they've become something I like to do that's different.

Critiques and comments as you will and thanks for looking.

I was expecting to see a pair, but there's three of 'em! 

Seriously, though, Bryan....that little extra work that you do makes all the diufference, it really is quite convincing.

Nice work

An 'Uneven Prial' did not have quite the same ring to it.

But seriously, I'm glad you like them.

Its that little extra effort that makes some work stand out.
perhaps we could have a 'conference' about it.

They look the way pears are as nature intended.........I love them. I'm going to try doing some.

[Mark Sanger]

Very nice indeed.

    Different from the norm  Bryan that extra off axis work certainly paid off.
    Well finished pears.

When you do, pop up a piccie, I would love to see another interpretation of them.

And thanks everyone, the public like them but it's It good to see them so well received by other turners.
