zebrano is nice stuff, and that plate is also! never turned it mind, cant afford it at the moment!

 

I may head up to snainton woodturning tomorrow, but its on the way to scarborough so its probably a bad idea!

Cheers and well done.

TBH I was really concious the wood was thin so did it very shallow and wish i had gone a lot deeper but might put it back on yet:thumbup:

Yewhunter gave it me:thumbup:

Never bought any wood from a shop ever,

Seemed very dry dust

Cheers

I think it's a good idea to wear a dust mask working this wood,I have some stashed away somewhere in me shed.

yew hunter: change of shorts may be required:

about 10+ year seasoned. tree was felled in the mid 90's i think he said.

 

I bought some yew on ebay a few months ago off i guy i (now) know. Who had a stroke and can no longer to any turning.

 

Well i got a call on wednesday asking if i wanted the rest. needless to say i jumped at the chance, as i thought it was just the odd bit.

 

In the end i got:

a 3m dustmaster face mask air wash thingy

a LOAD of yew, zeprano, mopane, cherry, oak, monkey puzzle and olive.

tools, inc hollowing tools.

probably about 100 of the NLA hinges, threaded inserts, screws, box hinges etc. all 22ct gold (plated)

and a threading kit.

 

Quite moving actually, nicest bloke ever. cute puppy aswell!
