Collection: Swiss Pear

Swiss Pear Hardwood Planks

Swiss Pear (Pyrus communis) is one of Europe's most refined and sought-after fruitwoods, prized for its exceptionally fine, even grain and warm honey-pink tone that deepens to a rich amber with age. Smooth and consistent throughout, Swiss Pear is a joy to work — turning, carving, and machining to a silky finish that takes oils and waxes beautifully. A timber that rewards patience and craftsmanship in equal measure.
