pearwood
Pale carving material
Pearwood is the timber of the pear tree, prized for its fine, even grain and warm reddish-brown color.
It carves and turns well without splintering, making it favored for woodwind instruments, furniture inlays, drawing instruments, and decorative objects.
The wood is dense and hard but works smoothly under tools.
