Hello peeps, it's been a while. Some nice stuff posted recently! I like that Yew box Pyro, and that Zebrano dish Bob very nice.

 

Pyro what's the finial on the box made from, is it dark yew or something else?

 

-so I finally finished that big Yew natural edge bowl (that can be found earlier in this thread), still might tweak the finish, but I think it looks OK now, hopefully it won't darken.

 

 

 

Also I had chance on the bank holiday to make this 'Blue box' - what do you think? I might take some pics in natural light as it will show the figure better...
