Great job, and quite an effort to get that hollowing at 10mm or less, from what I can see some that hole...!:wink:
I also had the perception that the piece was much, much bigger, something like 16" x 10/12" or so, until I saw the size you wrote down, nevertheless a great piece...!
Cheers

That's beautiful. I've never turned yew, but it's on my list of 'must turn' woods. Great job on this piece.

That grain is spectacular and the shape really shows it off. The finish is right on the money so it doesn't distract from the incredible piece of wood.

Very awesome!!!! where did you get your blank?? Did you rough it and let it dry or did you kiln dry it before turning????

thank you
JAZNCARR: I buy my wood from tree surgeons- i make my forms in one step, no roughing or kiln drying.
Just a wet log turned to a consistent wall thickness and brought straight into my home to settle
