YEW did a GREAT job there! Seriously though, I've never worked with Yew (or you). How is it to turn? What does it compare to? And how did you deal with the checking (cracks)?
Yew is superb to turn. There is a great density, but it’s still forgiving enough not to dull your tools. In terms of the cracks, because this is the 4th bowl from the same tree, I trust that the cracks will hold. I find that on yew they even enhance the piece, whereas on other woods they can often appear ugly. Thank yew for watching 🤣👍
Generally found in Europe. There is a limited supply in the UK and yew rarely is available to buy from a saw mill. I have a couple of tree surgeons who occasionally sell me yew.
Looks great!!!

Beautiful. I only wish I had access to Yew.
It is getting harder to source in the UK. I have a couple of local tree surgeons keeping an eye out for me. 👍

Who can tell me where one can get some of this yew

So basically chances are slim in the US
