As much as I loved the River Oak plate this is one beautiful piece the way the inside of the wood contrasts with the outter part which would be the bark is truly beautiful the grain is absolutely breath taking. Wonderful.
Very nice. One of my favorite lidded jars I made was 3.5 x 3.5 out of a piece of yew. Super fine grained, sapwood showing on the rounded bulge of the shoulder. Never cracked at all, tap it with a fingernail and it almost sounds like porcelain. Tough to find stuff like that, or like the piece you've got there, but I sure liked turning it, and it's got super color and character. Thanks for the video.

A very nice wood turning. It looks like you made the stain from the black CA glue an attribute rather than a blemish. Nice job, Jack!!!👍👍👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks for the kind words.. the ca glue was clear and user the firm up the rot in the wood, which is the dark section. Normally I’d avoid this kind of rot in a piece of wood but the customer hand picked this piece and requested I turn it into a platter for birthday gift.
@@JackMackWoodturning The closest wood that I can think of here across the pond that has similar shape is the juniper or cedar. Sadly, I can not turn any of those woods since I am highly allergic to them. I wish we had yew trees here in my part of the country.
Amazing job. Really nice shape and good recovery on that bit of tear out on the bark using the black paint. I’ll steal that idea for the future I’m sure!
Cheers Jed. The rot through the centre was a challenge too, used about 2 bottles of CA glue to fix it. I find the rim gets a bit lost on a piece like this if it’s not contrasting.. normally I’d scorch it but iv been playing with acrylic paint recently, quick flash with a hot air gun and it dries in seconds. It’s a little more time consuming to apple but has a stronger look.. If you haven’t already saw this, I have a new channel “JM Woodturning shorts” It’s all my back catalog of videos made into quick fire easy watching..it will also have my short project videos with tutorials on gift ideas ect.. hop over and subscribe ( and hit the 👍🏻 button 😆) Cheers for following along mate. 👍🏻
I’ve seen pictures of some of the giant yew hedges you have in England, but I never realized how big the trunks were. I’ve never seen one that big here in the States. Very nice finished product.
That’s woodturning for you ! It’s very funny to observe this as a “youtube content creator” but.. If I make a form with wood removed from the outside, such as a platter or a bowl with pedestal or a winged bowl Some viewers loose their minds at the wood that was removed to create the piece… however if I make a large hollow form or a large salad bowl or any kind of tall hollow vase … not one single person comments on the amount of wood reduced to shavings. It’s very interesting that people only see waste when the piece has no “inside” In woodturning we try to waste as little as possible by first cutting the wood to the size we need it.. but after that, it’s very important to remember that woodturning is all about removing material. On this piece for example, from the bottom of the tenon to the tip of the rim was the exact thickness of the blank. There is literally no way to make this without removing the wood.
@@JackMackWoodturning I can see what you’re saying, and I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I do notice when large amounts of "insides" are taken out, but I’ve racked my brain at how large amounts of wood could be removed in a subtractive process, and I can’t think of any safe ways. On flatter pieces like this, I have seen other turners glue on ends that attach to the machines, thereby saving the main block for the artwork. I realize that this is armchair quarterbacking on my part, but it was a damn fine piece of yew :) Also, a beautiful end result.
Beautiful platter Jack! Well done my friend! I’d love to get the chance to turn some yew. Alas, it’s not quite as available here in the states. Two big thumbs up! - Seth (I also subscribed to your shorts channel!)
Hi Seth, you do have access to some great wood that we find it harder to source here. I guess it is swings and roundabouts. Thanks for the extra sub man! 😁👍🏻
I know you had no choice with the "punkyness", but would you have done anything differently to try to avoid the discoloration? Appreciate your channel.
Thanks Scott, normally I’d not turn this piece. But the blank was picked out from a pile of off cuts in my workshop by the customer. This was the piece she wanted so it’s my job to make it work. The rest of this tree had the dark colour in the same spot but the rot in those sections was not as bad. Those pieces wer all turned into endgrain winged bowls and I celebrated the discolouration. I feel it’s important not to try to impose our own vision of perfection on a piece created by nature. Thanks for watching. 😊👍🏻

Yeah a lot of turner favour yew. It is a great looking wood. I personally favour apple burl. 👌🏻😉😊👍🏻

Cheers man. Yeah they can get pretty big, relatively speaking. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
Amazing piece! I love the finish. I could see that mounted on the wall above a bookcase.
Above a bookcase is a good plan 😊👍🏻
Jolie et du If c’est très dur comme bois bravo pour ta maîtrise 👍👏
I lift my hat to you, I just about stopped when you were blacking the rim, I’m pleased I didn’t because the end result was beautiful.
Hi Peter. Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Paint is usually a no no for me but I think the wood was still celebrated here. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
luar biasa.. pengen bikin kayak begitu.. tapi sayang peralatan yg tak mendukung 😅😅😅
I really didn’t like seeing so much of that beautiful yew turned into wood chips.
That’s woodturning for you !

this wood reminds me of Cyprus Pine
I’ve never turned it Rick. Yew is always pretty though. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉

Hi Seth, you do have access to some great wood that we find it harder to source here. I guess it is swings and roundabouts. Thanks for the extra sub man! 😁👍🏻
il faut avoir de doigté 🥇👍
When simplicity becomes art! Very nice job! May I ask what did you use for finishing? Thanks for sharing!
Hi Umberto, the finish was Dutch oil. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
How long was this wood seasoned for should I cut yew green for making a chopping board
Don’t use yew for a chopping board. Yew wood contains toxins. Use other woods for cutting boards. This yew was fully seasoned
I know you had no choice with the "punkyness", but would you have done anything differently to try to avoid the discoloration? Appreciate your channel.
