Scrap Yew

[woody]

I made these today they were both dodgy bits of wood one was just an off cut from a log end grain 8" x 4" x 1 1/2" with the shakes LOL the other was a very odd shaped bit that has been laying about for a few years it is 8" x 3 1/2" both with a Fiddes hardwax oil finish

If i had to pick, I'd go for the first one (the platter/shallow dish) I really like it and the 'shakes' give is a unique character.

However, I'm still fascinated by the excessively white sapwood of the newer Yew that you've got hold of.

Its from a tree that got blown down a few years ago in the grounds of a hunter lodge me and another turner had 1/2 each but I'm on the last of it now

No chance then that your mate has any of his left.  It's good the SSB is still stable, I've found that it can be fine one minute and gone the next, then you don't keep things round for to long, no pun, as you turn ..    .. work out..

Cheers.

Hmmm... I better get my finger out then. I got hold of two lengths of Spalted Paper Birch last week. So far only worked half of one length.

Im waiting for a new bandsaw blade to split one more log oh the SSB one lump of the wood I got Sat had a blooming great screw in it and I cut through the full length of it with a new blade I had just put on a few days before I'm sure you can all imagine what I said

Hi Woody Another great piece I love the grain and colours Well done Sorry you bu***rd your Band saw blade up would it help to check  with a material detector like you use to detect wiring or pipes in walls before drilling.Regards John
