I had a bit of trouble shaping the neck!! in the bottom left of this picture is the side of the nail head it then travels diagonally up thru the neck

6" wide by 3.5" tall

As said, Gorgeous.


A while back, I think CSUSA had some "Royal" English Yew that had the purple coloring in it that was all the rage and they quickly sold out. Any chance of getting some blanks?

Wow. Great colors. I've got a yew tree in my back yard. I'm going to see what I can harvest from it.

Mike . . . you may remember that I went on a major search for more of those CSU Royal English Yew blanks. I called CSU a number of times but to no avail. It's just really difficult to find a source for the "Royal English Yew". Actually, I don't think there really is such a thing, it was more or less CSU's own name that they put on them.

Finding those purple colored Yew is like looking for the Holy Grail.

Love all of the yew that you do! Such interesting colors, grains and patterns.

Yeah, when I go hunting for the Grail, I always get stuck at the Castle Anthrax.
