This pen was ordered for a Fathers day gift . So I picked out a nice Yew blank . It has to be engraved yet . But I liked the figure in the grain , and thought the light color would accommidate the engraving . Comments welcomed !

man, i thought it was gonna be a bog yew pen, did you ever turn any of them

No Keith , I'm not sure that I've even seen Bog Yew . I have seen Bog Oak , but haven't turned any of them either . AND , I'm not sure where this Yew comes from . The blank doesn't say . If you have some you like for me to try , send it to me !!! :biggrin:

that a pen made from yew
if turned with a skew
no one could ever out-do.
