Glorious Yew

[TrollSpiel]

Probably shouldn't have posted this yet, because it isnt finished - but I couldnt wait for my new spray gun to arrive & get some lacquer on it!

 

form is typical of Trollspiel Bespoke (as in the spikey/curvy thing) to accentuate certain areas of grain...

 

the top has a gold nugget ( pyrite wrapped in gold leaf) set in resin, as well as some turqouise..

 

someone said, make me a table.. so this is it.

That does look very nice mate. Are you gonna post piccies once the laquer is on?

[tommer9]

Very nice.

aye Rich, a nice water based lacquer, to keep that sapwood nice & light - 4 or 5 goats at a 50% gloss.

 

and thanks ;-)

Proper job looks really well put together, can't wait to see it finished.. Just milled some more yew myself last week, wish I had a kiln!
