Where can I find information on the movement characteristics and durability of pear wood?
Richard Jones: William A Lincoln’s book World Woods in Color—ISBN, 0854420282, states that the heartwood of pear, Pyrus communisis nondurable and that there is small movement in service. This is a useful book worth buying, but you need to make study of and understand his terms of reference for his “Movement in Service” numbers.
