@@youenn2180 Thank you 😀👍🏻, Yew is indeed one of the most beautiful types of wood to turn and especially if it is not so beautifully round. I also personally think a "Burl" is great. But actually just like people, the more lived it looks, the more beautiful 🤔.
I can not imagine not being able to turn left and right-handed. It seems like it would be a big handicap to me. Yew is not a common tree in my area, so it is always nice to see some turned. Very nice work Jens.
Wow, what a beauty and turned from my favourite wood. You have done a fantastic job, I have a few yew logs, so I will definitely have a go, Again beautiful piece, Kind regards From Will 👍 😊

@@maryrichmond Thank you 😀👍🏻 Everything you make with wood is unique, a bit different and has experienced other storms. A bit like people I think 😉 I love that!😀👍🏻
Beautiful work Jens! Just a helpful suggestion for sanding the irregular base...A Sand-O-Flex sanding wheel that attaches to a standard hand drill would work great for that and probably take a lot less time and effort....I've been using one for about a year now and its been a game changer for me on bowls, vases, etc.
@@CaptJohn-op3bf Thank you CaptJohn for your friendly comment and suggestion 😀👍🏻 I have a Sand-O-Flex, personally I find it a great tool for bigger, flat projects, but for smaller and more curved forms I find it easier to use a scouring pad with sanding paper.

WOW! Amazing... I am so glad to have found your channel to subscribe and super like! Thank you so much for sharing. I am a new wood turner at the age of 55. I turned a bowl in high school and always had a passion for turning but never pursued it. After beating cancer a few years ago, I bought myself a lathe and tools to celebrate life. Unfortunately once again life got in the way of living life. I want you to know how much this video inspires me to live life with passion. Thank you. Absolutely Beautiful. I have struggled learning from you tube since there are no clubs or coarse near me near Aberdeen SD USA. I welcome any and all advice to help me pursue this dream. Thank you. ps Where can I get this beautiful grain wood for this project?
@@glen3257 Thank you for your open and honest comment Glen. I am pleased that my video gives you such inspiration. I really hope that you can live and celebrate life, making wonderful projects and enjoying doing so. I often find it a therapeutic way to handle the business of life and turn it into more calm and joy. This piece of yew I use in this project is easily to come by here in the Netherlands. I wish you all the best and hope you can really enjoy wood turning! 💪🏻
Loved this project, turned out so beautifully. I am very much developing a strong affinity for 'Yew' wow it is so beautiful! Almost like a sibling to the beloved Black Walnut. I absolutely loved it! Wish it was common/available here in Alberta Canada. Going to have to check back with your channel as I really liked what I saw. Good job! PS you mentioned putting "Tungsten" oil on the wood. Was this a misspeak for I assumed "Tung Oil"? not actual Tungsten the metal I assueme, or some product I am unfamiliar with?
@@perrys5954 Thank you Perry for your comment and your attentiveness, you're right it is ofcourse "Tung Oil" 😅 It's a shame that the costs to send it to Canada are so expensive, otherwise I could have send you a piece of yew 😉
@@JensHovingaWoodturning Even considering sending some is incredibly kind and flattering thank you so much for the kind gesture! If there was some way of buying some I certainly would.. or should I say "I certainly wood" oh my I am such a dork :p But yes you are right it would probably be very expensive indeed unfortunately. Browsed your channel and at a glance looks awesome and cant wait to find the time to watch more, you have a new subscriber here :) PS I notice what I assume the last name "Hovinga" is that dutch? I live in a dutch farming community so lots of similar sounding names by all of my neighboors "Wierenga, Tuninga, Naninga, Heemstra, etc etc. Really awesome people! :)
@perrys5954 "I certainly wood" 😂 I love it! Thank you for subscribing, I try to post a new video every two weeks. "Hovinga" is certainly Dutch 😀 I live in the Netherlands 🇱🇺. Your neighbours names are known as "Friese" last names, just like mine is 😅 How wonderful you're have them as your neighbours! I would love it if you could send me a email at: honderdprocenthout@gmail.com Thanks for your enjoyable comment! 😀👍🏻
@@bigsabertoothbunny5986 This wood (yew) is always dry and free from toxine. In general I use wood that is dry and therefore not really deformed anymore. But in a few previous videos I do use "wet" wood and I also explain why. For example in "having fun and taking a mess", part 1 and "a really thin red alder bowl".
@@JensHovingaWoodturning thanks, Jens,, wow 3hp, will turn most any size, I truly like your vase idea of keeping the base, and your invention of cupping the base is superb,
I looked up your Stratos xl lathe, that is one beefy machine, the US cost is in the range of $7000, + shipping, outta my price range, i am happy for you that you have a good lathe to do your fantastic turnings. Have a great Christmas, thanks again for showing your vase..
@Henry-n7n8 Thank you Henry, This Stratos can handle a lot, I still have a disk of 80-90 cm for next year 💪🏻. As a wood turner you try to push your boundaries every time and try something new, so that we can learn from each other. Merry Christmas 😀👍🏻
@@mikeford7340 Thank you Mike, No, I use always dry yew wood, other wood you can turn wet and dry in the sealer. Yew wood has toxine when it's green and not dry. But i recommand always a face mask when you turn and surely when your sanding.
Gorgeous, and Im totally gonna ruin some wood tying this... Question: Does the interior of a vase like this really need to match the outside contour? Do people buying them care about that? Would it be just as effective to just have a slight curve to the inside? I ask, because controlling the swan neck bit has been... challenging.
@@starhawke380 I slight curve to the inside is also a option. I don't think that people who buy them would really mind or notice it. As a wood turner-artist you determine the shape on the outside and inside 😉👍🏻
@@ioanr3197 Thank you for your question, I used a 3/4 and a 1/2 inch bowl gauge from Hamlet and Crown. For hollow out i used Hunter tools and a Hoope hollow tool with carbide 8 and 10 mm.
Those are beautiful vases. I should also mention that all parts of the yew tree are poisonous except for the outer part of the berry. Some birds can eat the seeds, and the inner part passes through their digestive system and are dropped and sprout and grow new trees. Care should be taken when turning this wood, as the sawdust is also toxic. The pattern and texture of the wood is very pretty, but adequate precautions should be taken. I did not intend to rain on your parade, but I thought this message was important. Please be safe, and happy turning.
@@blueboy4511 Thank you for your comment, and I share your concern. Yew can be poisonous, but if you read up on it, it is only "fresh branches, needles and seeds". After the wood has dried, the poisonous substances (toxin) disappears from the wood.😉👍🏻
@@blueboy4511 But you are certainly right that you have to be careful and wear protection. So I also have to vacuum my workshop regularly before I can collect oak or beech chips for a smokehouse nearby. Otherwise we might all see double😂😉. But thanks again for your concern 👌🏻.
