back in the shed

[nev]

after a frustrating month or so of just staring at the lathe with no inspiration I decided to make a something today and this fell out of a branch of yew. nothing wonderful but all the tools worked as they should and I managed to get the stem down to a nice flexible 5 mm or so without breaking it
hopefully the first step back onto the turning wagon :wink:

Nice nev
5mm stem and detail on the base you still have it LOL

But why are you just standing and looking instead of turning ??

cos my mind is the biggest blank in the shed! I seem to have had a mental block on all things shed related but forced myself out there yesterday to have a go at the monthly challenge (again!) and managed to come up with something most basic) so today tried to continue making shavings and the result was some good long shavings and a goblet.

Yew made a nice job of that

Very slick and stylish
