new yew forms

[George Watkins]

Hello folks

here's some more yew forms

6" wide 5" tall

not keen on this one- there was a large heart shake that i had to remove early on in shaping the neck section and it just didnt go well after that

pic of a previous form from a week or so ago and the new form

all three

"Yew"UR the man. Wonderful work once again.

So, being new to this stuff, what exactly is "yew"?

It's a type of tree ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxus_baccata

Or bad puns waiting to happen

George that is awsome.....again. What finish did you use? Thanks for showing.

Beautiful work George with some beautiful wood.

 

[George Watkins]

thank you for all of your kind comments

Russell Eaton:I use lemon oil until the wood is dry (which is the finish in these pictures) as it allows the wood to dry out but stop any finger marks etc - then on yew I use a oil with a uv inhibitor in it to try and stop it fadeing so quickly.
