Lovely! What finish do you use on the Yew?

Recent Yew pieces like all but a couple of pieces in my Gallery since Nov. 2009 are just Cellulose Sanding sealer and either Carnauba or Microcrystalline Wax (mainly the latter) buffed with the Chestnuts Triple Mop buffing system.

Thanks Derek, like to say I'm experimenting with different shapes but to be honest they are what came out of some good looking stock but full of ring shakes and are what is left over after all the bits flew off.
Take up turning time out of proportion with their size though changing chucks and holding methods but at least it keeps up the turning practice. Hopefully the stuff I've sorted since lunch will have a better yield.

After a fresh coating of looking at this morning was not really happy with the lid profile on that last one so have put it on a slimming diet to reduce the bulk.

Tried to get a slighter lighter feel to the form of this one.

A little different on the tooling control front this one, the blank being predominantly end grain from a branch joint made hollowing somewhat slower going.

I like the slimmer lid on this one just suits the form.

The coin really shows the size of some of them
 
Having a bit of a 'lidded' phase at the moment for a change Derek, have been exploring turning sequence to try and find simplest method of finishing off and removing chucking registers, also lid proportions.

Going to have a go at a few bigger diameter versions, been trying to get reasonable grain match across body and lid without resorting to the extra work of an inserted location lip to reduce material loss after parting off.
May have to give a bit more thought to lid register on bigger diameter pieces due to possible shrinkage ovality developing.

As they say a picture paints a thousand words, visually registers better than a plain dimension.
 
I am busy restoring a cheap wooden fire surround for a family member as I get given free wood from them so a little return from me. Then hopefully back to some more turning Have a few ideas I want to play with

Well if they don't like the Box perhaps the contents will hit the spot.

Like both of those especially the way the shape flares out to the top of the lid
Thanks Derek, wonder where I got that idea started. :idea: :)

Makes for easy lid lifting & with the use of hot melt holding spigots max use of thinner wood blanks
