A few other efforts from the garage

[TreeBits]

Pic 1. Khamphi Rosewood bottle stop / corkscrew - I like this wood!
Pic 2. Redwood salt and pepper shakers
Pic 3. Yew 2 tbs coffee scoop. Common yew, I think this is the same as English Yew, this is the the yew you might have growing your yard, I cut this from a locla abandoned lot (with permission). Really beautiful wood, the chocolate/cinnamon swirl look goes nicely with the scoop.

Very different, and not often seen...A+!!!


Really liking that scoop with the Yew, did you need to take any pre-cautions while turning? The 'toxicity table' for Yew says a lot of scary things...

My quick and un-thorough research tends to indicate that the yew wood is only a mild irtitant along the lines of many other exotic woods. I used my mask when working with it - seems to be sufficient. Thanks for the heads-up though. Tom
