For this woodturning project, I turned a small Yew tree into a beautiful piece of wood art. The wood has a beautiful grain that is both dangerous and beautiful. This project was a great way to explore the woodturning process and create a unique piece of wood art. Be sure to check out my other woodturning projects!

Bowl, Dish, Tray, Platter, Vessel, ??? I'm gonna call it a Plank 😂 A very nice Plank Mike, Only joking mate, seriously it looks great I had no idea how it was gonna end up but well impressed, Dave

Thanks Dave and to be honest if I had thought of plank that is exactly what I would have called it, perfect description :D

Haha 20 years, Mike you have serious wood turner OCD, never throw any wood away. I have some great walnut logs from around 5 years ago in my wood bucket. I think the bark inclusion makes the piece more beautiful, thanks for sharing, good luck with the channel. Only 3.92k subscribers but 1,729,408 views, this channel will grow Mike.

Thanks so much, you should see my scrap tub, it's full of bit's so many people would just throw away. My sister came round and raided it for her log burner, I swear I let out an audible whimper lol. Really appreciate your support, I know I've only been going a year but I am enjoying it so much and feel that I'm just getting started with the ideas and creativity, editing is a pain especially as I use two cameras but it's all part of the process. All the best, Mike.

I would call the piece, a "winged dish". To me, a dish is a shallow bowl. This is a very decorative piece, which people might be tempted to put food on. However, some pearly marbles, or similar, stacked or otherwise arranged, might discourage the food temptation .The colour is gorgeous! The feathering is lovely! Well done, on a tricky turning!

Absolutely beautiful Mike! We don't find yew very much in Canada, but we do have a lot of eastern red cedar that rivals this grain.

@susanburrows5288
@susanburrows5288 5 месяцев назад
Still catching up on older videos...I really like this piece. The wood is interesting in grain and color, I agree the black CA just enhanced the center darkness of the wood and made it stand out as a feature. I've noticed in your winged pieces and in other turners' that something about leaving the straight edges of the end of log cuts bothers me. I think the straight ends fits this piece because there is no round "bowl" area in the center, the whole thing is gently dished on top, and the roundness in the base/foot flows better. Looking forward both tomore catching up and seeing what you do for the channel's TWO year anniversary.

Very nice ... decorative platter? In any case, I had a moment of fear when the corner caught your sleeve on spin-up, because I didn't realize the "dangerous" in the title referred only to yew's toxicity. I wonder, too, if you could have cut the original stock essentially parallel to the eventual surface of the platter and thus also gotten two small matching bowls for it.

Hi Pete, sure, it's a black CA glue (superglue). I get mine from Yandles www.yandles.co.uk/tools-machines/adhesives-glues/ca-superglue/c655 . You need to use the accelerator, but not too much as it can bubble up. Don't use it on large gaps, for large gaps use a 2 part epoxy/resin or milliput. If you are unsure, give me a shout and I'll point you to the right video where I'm using the different ones. All the best. Mike

Nice work. Was that a nail you pulled out?
@MikeHolton
@MikeHolton Год назад
It was a screw that snapped when I removed the faceplate. It can happen, best way to avoid it is to pre drill the holes. Thanks for watching. 😃

What ratio of oil and shellac do you use?
@MikeHolton
@MikeHolton Год назад
It depends on how your shellac is mixed but if it's a normal mix then about 50:50 will be fine. Apply thin layers and see how it builds up

I had no idea you could turn something that isn't round. Too bad yew is poisonous, it would make a lovely food tray. Very nice outcome.

Couldn't see where you were going with that, but its a lovely style And looks so much better with the bark removed What's the overall length of your lathe included the motor? As the motor sticks out by a foot-ish
@MikeHolton
@MikeHolton Год назад
Overall with the motor it's about 154cm so fairly wide, and I'm thinking about getting a bed extension lol

Hi Vincent, sorry about that, I used a jam chuck I have a video out at three today in which I remove the tenon in the same way I did the Yew plate. All the best, Mike

The “bark inclusion” is partially rotten pith - very typical in Yew. You were lucky that it didn’t split and become a propeller!!
@MikeHolton
@MikeHolton Год назад
Hi David, sorry to disagree but if you pause the video at 2:09 you will clearly see two piths and the bark inclusion between them. All the best, Mike

Is that shape of vessel called a "trencher"?
@MikeHolton

Hi Lorna, it has that shape I guess, trenchers are made from brass shell casings by soldiers in the trenches during the war.
