I read something online about  commercial pear wood plantations in italy as the wood is in demand, but I think it it was "swiss pear" which is  not actaully pear but the Wild service tree.

 

WWW.ESPEN.DE

Wood for musical instruments: guitars, violins, viola... Woodwind blanks for flute, clarinet, oboe. More than 120...

 

But both woods are similar

The species is comparatively rare and sought after. Visually almost identical to steamed pear is the service tree = Swiss pear tree (Sorbus torminalis).

 

Steamed pear mentioned here.....

I’m about to remove a quite large fallen pear tree. Is it worth keeping trunk sections larger in the hope someone will have them

Fell it, mill it. Sticker it. Store it on your premises for 2-5 years and you might make a hundred quid. You could retire.
