Interesting yew

[G13469]

Felled this today and thought the colours where worth sharing. Winched it over last thing so will extract it tomorrow

[astra25]

Very nice and intresting what's your plan with it?

[slackbladder]

My money says there is some in there with that staining .

[gobbypunk]

Yeah that black staining defo some iorn in there , whats your plans for it

[G13469]

Got to get the bugger out first. It's a biomass job but this log needs to find a better home than the chipper.

About 5m long ATM but heavy at that. Will put some pics up tonight when it's out and trimmed up

[se7enthdevil]

i'm happy to do some turning from it if you like.

 

i'll turn you some bowls if i can have a few for myself?

 

milling it sounds like a chain will meet some iron...

[spandit]

Might get some bow staves out of it - could make a good little earning from it!

[wills-mill]

Yew looks amazing with a bit of steel inside, it's almost worth poking nails into them just to get the colours!

 

Controversial

[G13469]

Haha don't think I have the patience to make the colours myself.

That's a great offer Steve, we really enjoy using the last bowl you gave me and would love to add to the collection sometime.

The log was too heavy for the winch so used the 360 to drag it up the hill so I don't think any bows will come from this lump.

Once I've got it out and presentable I'll stick a pic up and get some opinions on the best way to process it.

 

I did get a few decent yew logs that are available, open to any offers however low just want them gone.
