Nice. Very nice. I don't know how big your lathe is or whether it's variable speed, but I did a couple of stunning ones (given away) deliberately off centre so as to get bigger bark inclusions and more sapwood that were very pretty. You have to have the capacity and the capability, though. I assume you bored the hole and turned around it?

Very nice. What are they, about 100mm across ?

Yes, a bit more maybe. There's only one, the second picture is the back. Phil I did start with lots of inclusions but kept going as the grain was a bit boring.

Hi
A little too 'simple' for me - perhaps the photos don't do it justice.
Did you ground the bulb holder?
Regards Mick

I think with any other wood it would be too simple, but yew being yew I think there's enough going on to keep it interesting. and yes it's earthed!
