Went to my local firewood seller who let me select my own wood and bought 2 bags of logs @ £2.00 each.
I filled one bag with what I think is Yew and the other bag was filled with various sorts of wood that were heavily Spaltered.
I sealed the pieces and put them to dry out about 2 months ago I could not resist the temptation to try some out!
Here are my attempts
Vase in what I think is Yew 5 1/2" high 3" wide
Bowl 5" wide 3" high again in what I think is Yew
Weed Pot in spaltered wood think it may be Silver Birch 4 1/2"high 2 1/2" wide
Potpourri bowl in spaltered wood no idea what kind
Although the vase in the first pic has distorted and gone out of shape I will still keep it as I love the markings on it and it may remind me to let the wood dry out more before I use it.
Needless to say I will be going to my local firewood seller again and looking through his pile
