It looks like Swiss pear wood. The hardwood has a very sturdy and dense surface, and I hardly notice its grains. Also, the price is similar to cherry wood, although I have to cut it by myself. I'm glad that I found a quality wood supplier locally.

Callery Pear - a group of ornamental Pear trees whose wood is also excellent for our use.  The color is darker.   The Web says that Pyrus calleryana is a native of China and Vietnam.

 

Masa,  looks like you have found a wonderful timber.  My impulse would be to be greedy and hoard as much as I could.

Hi Masa~

 

It is a pleasure to see a MSW member who is based in Korea! Where in South Korea are you located? I am located in Seoul. Also, you seem to have sourced beautiful pear wood in Korea. Would you be able to share where you managed to source such fine wood please?

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Rock
