Yew hollow form
Not been doing a lot in the way of turning as I am a good 3/4 of the way through making a car rocker. While the paint is drying I am making three tea light stand for dinning table(still need varnishing) again waiting for glue to dry, so I thought that I would turn a piece of yew that I had sitting around with a fault in it.
Below is the end result as stated made from Yew and stands 5" tall 3" across also managed to get wall thickness down between 1/8" to 3/16"

Very nicely done Dalboy did you have much movement while turning with that fault virtually the full length of the piece.
Regards Rod.

Thank you all for the great comments. As I said this really was just a bit of light relief while things were drying.
There was no problem with it flying to pieces the whole piece was quite sturdy. Once I had turned the outside (after picking out any loose bits) I wrapped the thickest part with 1" wide masking tape as well as the neck, leaving the rest not taped.

This made it a lot easier to turn the inside as once I had got to the stage where the walls were getting about 3/8" thick you could see the ghosting of the tool inside. This made it a lot easier to see how thick the walls were.

Enterprising work. Well done.
...
One of the things I learned from for this kind of job is to use non-stretch tape like packing or sellotape.
Maybe that's what you used; masking tape can also just be sticky paper.Cheers, Ern
