In this video I turn a piece of Yew into a natural edge bowl. I was rather shocked at the final shape of the bowl !! the log appeared quite round in the beginning, I wasn't anticipating it to have such a wild shape, that made it even more difficult to turn considering it was an end grain turning. Thats the beauty of turning Yew, you never truly understand what you're going to get … I finished it with Danish oil.

As always Andy brightening our day with a satisfying video
😊
Thankyou 👍
Love the final shape…displays the beauty of the wood perfectly . Good job you stepped away when sneezing 😄
My favourite wood ,you’ve done a fantastic job with the shape was very surprised with the end result ,love it 🎉❤
As usual, absolutely stunning!
You never fail to amaze. Wonderful piece of art. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
I’m curious, is there a favorite wood you like to turn due to it’s smell? I’d imagine they all have their own particular scent.
another inspirational tutorial for a newer turner here. we have the pacific yew out here that looks very close to the yew you turned there. It is very durable specie, lack of shade and disregard saving when logging has diminished many larger yew’s.
Your natural edge pieces are my favourites, nothing fancy like resin or goblets with knots in the stream, just the wood itself. This one somewhat reminds me of the sort of beautiful fungus that grows on rotting wood – it’s a very organic shape with a sort of inevitability. Yew is never boring.
As always, beautiful work! ❤
Another stunning beautiful bowl love your videos thank you
Thats gorgeous!! The shape, the textures and live edge. Perfect!
Absolutely beautiful bowl 👍👍
It is a bit wacky, but also beautiful and natural. It almost looks like a maple leaf! ❤
I love that final shape, great job!
Because of one of your pieces “Yew Beauty”, I went and bought basically an entire Yew tree … inspired by your piece I then turned a bowl along the same lines … what an absolutely stunning wood to work with 😁
With regards your latest piece, where did that shape come from, I’d never have expected that … I can only surmise it’s because you started off on a sloped surface (will need to try that) … an absolutely beautiful piece 👍
That’s beautiful, Andy. Based on the blank, I wouldn’t have guesses at that final shape either. Surprises can be fun.

Hi Andy. The Yew has a pretty grain to it, yes? Interesting how you got rid of negative space by drilling the well into the base so that you did not have to carve out all that wood when turning the backside of the bowl. Ingenious. It made the turn much easier in the end. It’s a pretty piece. With the allotted space for the “Andy Medallion” of course !!
Really beautiful piece, Andy! Really amazing work! 😃
You know, sometimes I like to do experiments… Make something, like a picture with some picture editor, whatever… Without any plan and see what happens. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
PARABÉNS , linda peça !!!
What a nice surprise in the end. It’s a lovely piece Andy.
Hi Andy the yew wood is amazing I like the grain and markings and natural edge. The way you turned the bowl was brilliant you really are a masterwoodturner. The end result was magnificent and unique I love the shape. Thank you for a fabulous video and your time for making the bowl and showing us what you did. Amanda xxxx
