Pear Wood – Fine-Grained European Hardwood with Exceptional Smoothness & Elegant Color

 

 

 

Pear wood (Pyrus communis) is a premium fine-grained hardwood prized for its silky texture, stability, and sophisticated natural color. With warm tones ranging from soft pink and rose to light reddish-brown, Pear is a longtime favorite among woodturners, carvers, instrument makers, and fine furniture builders.

Why Pear Wood Stands Out

 

 

 

Pear wood is known for its classy, understated elegance and world-class workability.
