Bowling along again today.

First of several (hopefully) for a friend who has been waiting some two years for the wood to dry out.

Yew 233mm diameter.

Lovely bowl & piece of wood

It is a long time no hear Rich, we are doing fine thanks, new job? thought you may have moved to the frozen steps.

Glad to be able to work some of it Paulm, you know the frustration of keep looking at it in store wondering if it is ready. Like Yew for taking detail trimming, nice fine buttery texture that holds a sharp edge, just never quite sure how much or how little is enough.

Main problem I have Kim is getting my head around the particular lump of wood and the recipients request for pieces that are not run of the mill or different in some way. It seems that 'one offs' have more kudos on the dispersal front, great let off on the need for repeatability of form though.

Another lovely looking piece Chas.
Just a pity Yew loses those beautiful colours over time
