    Default Yew crotch vase

    The branch this came from was full of radial splits from the pith. Fortunately, this bit, where the two branches separate was reasonably free, just a couple of dips here and there.

    Had to use the hollowing rig in the end as the hand tool kept being grabbed by the voids. It was supposed to be a rest from the screaming airtool that I use most days but it had its moments of stress.

    Comments and critique welcome as always.

    Looks good to me Gus. There would have been some "challenging" moments.
