• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I O Yew Bowl

Very nice Andy.........but that looks like elm to me. Are you sure?
 
Nice bowl Andy, I think the flash of your camera is high lighting more than what is seen by the naked eye. Looks great to me!
There, your bowel is safe now!

Definitely Mike, I do not have an image of the bark covered lump it came from and sadly all the white sap wood got turned away. It has certainly finished darker than I expected after just sanding sealer and melamine lacquer were used. There is a hint of some pinkish hues visible to the naked eye typical of yew I have turned before.

It will darken even more over time as it gets exposed to daylight, one of natures frustrations I'm afraid, still an attractive wood to be enjoyed if given due respect whilst machining.

Nice to see your base treatment showing the extra effort in finishing the design rather than shortcutting to leave just a variation on the chucking method.
 
Thanks Chas,
I put a ring foot on all by bowls now, large or small and they are made totally independently of the tenon used for chucking.
