Next door neighbor passed many years ago He planted a Yew bush. Its was about 60 years old when the new neighbors cut it out. I took a sizable piece of the base . It's been drying about 5 years. I stabilized the 2 calls with wood hardner. After turning I burnished the wood on the lathe with an old mastodon tooth and applied 100% beeswax. Slate over slate. One I'll keep one I'll let go.
Really nice looking wood ..
looks like , you need to get some more of that,,,,,,,,,,
That's pretty cool there. Sharp looking pots too!

How much
Both turned out very nice, the one on the left really catches my eye. I had never heard of a Yew Bush, I think I have heard of a Yew Tree and I think I remember the Indians used to make bows with those and Osage Trees. Are they the same family I would guess?
Very nice looking work!

I added carved roping to the calls which brings them to, $85.00 ea. Includes shipping
They both have a beautiful sound and I'm parcel to the lighter color one myself.

Yew's for the most part are generally just used as a shrub. They're very common. You two are talking about the same plant
