Thanks, Kevin - glad you enjoy my videos - I try to keep them interesting so it's great to get such positive feedback as this - much appreciated. Cheers!
Cheers, John! It was fun to do and see how good the Hope 6mm tool is! Need to work on getting an even wall thickness a bit more, but it was a great tool to use.
Beautiful piece Stewart, more proof too of the abilities of the Hope tools :) Great idea re the handle for the long reach sander ... will be using that for sure. Great video mate. Cheers Mike
Thanks, Chris! Dodgy is the word.....the crack in the bottom is a bit longer now, I think...might need some mechanical aid to keep it together eventually. Cheers!
Great project Stewart. Biting off more than you can chew? you breezed it, as usual, and the yew, always a winner for me. Thanks for sharing. Need to expand my range of Hope tools, those little 6mm cutters punch well about thier weight.
Well done Stewart it looks like you got the better of the yew and the hollower, maybe some leather lace or copper wire across the gaps? keep the videos coming 👍👍👍
Cheers, Barry! Yep, I strongly suspect that some mechanical aid will be needed to keep this together at the bottom....the crack is getting longer each day...gulp!
Considering the cracks and inclusions that was a brave turn. Very nice result, I like the simple curved shape, and of course the yew looks wonderful. It would make a very poor soup tureen, but it could hold bread sticks quite nicely. I'll call Olive Garden. (Have you been invaded by Olive Garden restaurants? You can tell by the odor of excessive garlic hanging in the air.) You could turn some spheres to put into it, that might be nice.
Cheers, Bill! Never heard of Olive Garden....so I guess we are in the clear for now.....spheres is a nice idea, though......might give that a go. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!
I wish I was good as yew 🤔😉Ok, I'll leave the silly jokes to you. That was a great example of deep turning, thanks for sharing Stewart. Have you ever thought of doing a vidio showing us all around your workshop? I'm guessing a lot of people would like to see around it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Gordon - thanks for commenting. Delighted you like it! I do actually have a short video tour of my workshop - I'll add it to the end of one my future videos and do a more indepth one if it sparks enough interest...it will probably be in my video at the end of March...Cheers!
Cheers, Terry....I think my channel gives the impression that I mainly do coloured pieces, but that's really a false impression....I have done a lot of colouring videos as there didn't seem to be too many of them on UA-cam, and now I'm branching out with my videos to show some natural stuff as well - hopefully appealing to more people. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!
Thanks! I don't colour everything - I think my colouring videos suggest that I do, but I tend to do more colouring videos as there are lots of 'naked' woodturning videos out there. Still, I might do some more naked pieces if I keep getting great wood like this! Cheers!
Yew is always a lovely colour, i'm glad you didn't spoil it with adding colour to it!, May i ask , is the lathe bolted down or just very heavy as it didn't seem to move
Cheers, Mart! I'm not sure I'd ever feel like colouring yew.....but you never know! The lathe is not bolted down, and yes, it is very heavy!!! It was an effort to move it into my workshop for sure!
Nice one, Stewart. As for use, art is purely decorative. It’s use/purpose is to please the eye. And why hide the inside, especially with your head! Regards, Mike
Thank you, Douglas. The small carbide cutter was fantastic to use on this. You'd think something so small would take a long time to remove so much wood but it works surprisingly quickly. Cheers!
Love watching you turning never boring and you still enjoy the unusual which is great best of luck🤸♂️
Thanks, Kevin - glad you enjoy my videos - I try to keep them interesting so it's great to get such positive feedback as this - much appreciated. Cheers!
Yew really done it this time. Your endgrain Yew bowl is spectacular.
Ha ha....thanks, Gary! Delighted you like it. Cheers!
It it s very nice it is beautiful and stunning the grain is awesome.
Kobie Kaasjager Thanks for commenting, Kobie. Much appreciated. Glad you like it. Cheers!
wow thats an awsome result man!
Cheers, Christofix! Much appreciated!!
@@stewartfurini you are welcome! i was realy surprised with the result! i realy like it !
Very nice . It's got some beautiful grain in it . Cheers .
Thanks, Glen - I love the grain in the bottom....just hope that crack doesn't keep growing...Cheers!
Great Job Stewart. Love the patterns for where the various trunks were growing.
Thanks, Paul. It was fun to use the Hope carbide cutter on this - it's a great tool - and yew is always fantastic looking. Cheers!
Beautiful, Stewart! I love the coloring of the yew!
Thank you, Carol. Me too! Yew is so beautiful in its colour and grain. Cheers!
Big fan, another superb piece. Love it👍☀️👍☀️👍☀️👍☀️👍☀️
Thanks for your enthusiastic appreciation, Rex! Gratefully received. Cheers!
Lovely simple shape .Like it .
Thanks, Terry - glad you like it. I'm pleased it stayed together as the join at the bottom could be stronger! Cheers!
Nice piece Stewart!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Alan - love getting the thumbs up from you! Cheers!!
You’re a brave man Stewart Furini, I might have been inclined to wrap that piece in gaffer tape when hollowing. Well done on keeping it together.
Thanks, Frank! I think keeping it so wide at the base helped keep it together. The crack at the bottom is growing though....fingers crossed!
Looks really nice, lots of hard work
Thanks, Paul - it was made a lot easier with the Hope carbide tool. Just needed patience and a steady hand with the voids! Cheers!
certainly an interesting piece. I think you made a great job.
Cheers, John! It was fun to do and see how good the Hope 6mm tool is! Need to work on getting an even wall thickness a bit more, but it was a great tool to use.
Beautiful piece Stewart, more proof too of the abilities of the Hope tools :)
Great idea re the handle for the long reach sander ... will be using that for sure.
Great video mate.
Cheers
Mike
Mike Waldt Cheers Mike. It was fun to do and the Hope tool was so easy to use. Glad the sander in the handle was a useful idea!
Good outcome from a Dodgy looking piece yew that was a big big fissure down the middle glad it turned well .
Thanks, Chris! Dodgy is the word.....the crack in the bottom is a bit longer now, I think...might need some mechanical aid to keep it together eventually. Cheers!
Great project Stewart. Biting off more than you can chew? you breezed it, as usual, and the yew, always a winner for me. Thanks for sharing. Need to expand my range of Hope tools, those little 6mm cutters punch well about thier weight.
Thanks, William - all I can say, is get one! Glad you liked the project this week. Cheers!
@@stewartfurini I have the mini-hollwer and the easy arm jig, but its the mid-range equipment Im lacking.
Good job turning a piece of timber that could easily have gone wrong. That 6mm hollowing tool can really move some wood.
Thanks, Joseph - yep, it's a great tool for shifting wood...amazing how quickly it works. Cheers!
Well done Stewart it looks like you got the better of the yew and the hollower, maybe some leather lace or copper wire across the gaps? keep the videos coming 👍👍👍
Cheers, Barry! Yep, I strongly suspect that some mechanical aid will be needed to keep this together at the bottom....the crack is getting longer each day...gulp!
Lovely looking pice. 👍👍👍
Thanks, Simon! Delighted you like this one - it was fun to do something as deep as this. Cheers!
You're too critical, it's nice. I've just finished binge watching your channel and all I can see is a spinning kaleidoscope lol.
Thanks, Dale! Hope the eyesight is recovered by now! Love a good binge watch every now and then.Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!

Hi Stewart, beautiful bowl. Really like all of your work, especially the coloring. Can you tell me how you find yew wood? Thanks

Love the fact that you did not color it this time. This piece deserves to be “naked”. As always a nice job!

Don't second guess yourself. It's a good piece.
Thanks, William - it's a bit different from what I've done before. Looking forward to doing some more like it. Cheers!
Muy original enorabuena 👍🇪🇸
Gracias, Andres!!
Nice one, Stewart. As for use, art is purely decorative. It’s use/purpose is to please the eye. And why hide the inside, especially with your head! Regards, Mike
Thanks, Mike - I think you're right. This just looks great without having any use! Cheers!
Challenging piece at that depth, looked like you might have lost part at the end
Thank you, Douglas. The small carbide cutter was fantastic to use on this. You'd think something so small would take a long time to remove so much wood but it works surprisingly quickly. Cheers!
