Beautiful form. I love working with Yew. It is difficult to get it where I live, I like how the center is always dark and creates wonderful patterns. Nice work.

Amazing work! Was the blank dry when you started? Do you expect it to stay round or deform as it finishes drying? How thin did you work the walls down to through that 7/8" hole?

What type of finish is on the piece? It looks like there is not a finish on the piece. Maybe you can let us know where you get your yew?

[George Watkins]

Thank you for all of your kind comments- I am v pleased with this piece which doesnt happen with me and my work very often.

I turn all of my forms from green wood

I buy my yew from local tree surgeons- i currently have about half a tonne of it

the wall thicknss on this piece is similar to the thickness of the rim which you can see-about an 1/8"

The finish on this piece is currently lemon oil- i will then apply one or two coats of oragonoil to give a slight satin sheen.

That's beautiful. I've been contemplating a form like this for a while, and I hope mine turns out as well. You blokes are lucky to have all of that beautiful yew... I've never turned it, but I love the way it looks.
