woodturning yew crouch vase

[@MikeWaldt]

A gorgeous vase Robbie, Yew is still my favourite wood, you just never know what beauty you may uncover while turning it, and this is a fine example of that beauty. The shape of the vase, the inclusions, and figure make this a truly stunning piece mate. Take care Mike

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Mike Waldt Hi mike good to hear from you Thanks for the compliment yes yew is a wonderful wood and nice to turn

[@clydecarden6612]

watching you start to turn that piece of yew scared me, but then watching your wonderful skill show though made the vase very great. thank you for tuning wonderful pieces

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Clyde Carden Thanks yes its not a piece for the faint hearted i hope to turn another one soon :--)

[@francosacco996]

Hello Robbie, I have spent fifty years in the joinery trade, set out in wood turning about four months ago, and i find it great. Thanks for your work and videos, it' really inspiring. carry on the good work. Counting on you.

[@longwayneennis3641]

G'day Robbie, beautiful piece of work. Thx for sharing.

[@Classicmus]

You are a brave man to put a piece of wood that shape on a lathe. Fabulous result. well done. Regards, John

[@terryhanson3644]

Wow Robbie, there is no way I would ever think of chucking a piece of log that shape...You make it look so easy! You must have your lathe set in concrete! Good looking vase you made, nice work! Roy

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Duncan Hooper Thanks Duncan i love keeping natural pics natural :-)

[@HM-0410]

Another beautiful piece of work. You never know what the piece of wood will take you. You have a wonderful vision for Woodturning and you also are a wonderful craftsman. Can’t wait to see what you create next.

[@BlindWoodTurner]

Hi Robbie !! Yeah, I really enjoyed it mate and understood what was happening.I was glad it all came good after a weeks serious work put into it. Cheers. Mate.

[@yuvallahav]

In the end your vase shines through, I just know that feeling of getting back to the lathe after a few days you can't work in, and finding your turning with cracks, or distorted.. that just sucks, but you pulled it off, I love the colors of your Yew, I'll be getting a piece from Ireland in a few days, and I've never turned the stuff, I hope my piece will be as colorful as yours Robbie, thanks again for an engrossing video!

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Yuval Lahav Thanks Yuval yew is a lovely wood to turn looking forward to seeing what becomes of the piece you are getting

[@Rocky1234732]

Great vise. Very informative. Thanks

[@muziqjazz]

Hi Robbie; good to see you back. What an audacious start... I was scared but I did enjoy your project. Nice wood and finish. Take care. Marc

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Gord Rock Thank you Gord

[@Oldvet1946]

Beautiful Vase! I know it was not what you envisioned but it turned out very, very nice. Mike

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Oldvet1946 Thanks Mike i'll be trying another two branch one soon

[@alansimpson596]

Welcome back Robbie. The vase turned out great. I think there aren't many woods which can match up to the beauty of yew. Best wishes, Alan.

[@alansimpson596]

Alan Simpson I forgot to mention that I've been following Albert Furtado for several months and he really is a remarkable and enthusiastic turner especially when he tackles seemingly impossible pieces of wood and turns them into works of art.

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Alan Simpson Thanks Alan yew has some amazing figure in it as you know us woodies love it Hope to turn another vase soon :-)

[@AlFurtado]

Glad to see you back on the lathe Robbie. I know this vase changed from your initial idea but the beauty in the end shows true craftsmanship and all looks intentional with great results.WOW Robbie I was writing this at the very end and turned back to see the final piece in you hands to hear the shout out. WOW completely unexpected and Thank you so much Great finish my friend. Albert

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Al Furtado Thanks Albert the shout out was well deserved you are a sound Guy

[@berniesr]

A fine piece. I did wonder where you would end up when I saw what you started with,

[@oaksho]

Wow what a challenging piece of wood to turn Robbie and what a beautiful result. Good to see you getting a bit of time on the lathe, All the best Tony

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

***** Thanks Tony i Have your pen blanks packed in a box ages ago i just haven't made it to the post shop Hopefully some time this year lol

[@AsWoodTurns]

Beautiful finished piece. At the beginning, I really wondered what you would be able to pull out of that wood. Alan

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

As Wood Turns Thanks Alan i have another two branch crouch i better get it right :)

[@davidwatson1146]

Really nice Robbie, you do beautiful work, thanks, Dave

[@michaelfelixb1316]

Ein sehr schönes Teil 👌👏

[@charlesreicks648]

Nice Looking good job.

[@robhampton4929]

Very nice Robbie. I enjoy watching your work. All the best Rob

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Rob Hampton Thank you Rob

[@KeithBarrowat54a]

Nice work as usual Robbie.It looks great even if it wasn't as you intended! Take care, Keith.

[@mavdad55]

Beautiful piece. I hope to try turning a vase like that some day. For a hollowing tool I have a Crown 5/8 Revolution tool. Still getting use to it. I also use a Sorby multi tool tool, but the 12in. Handle is just to short for anything over 4-5in. Deep.

[@ErikAnderson1]

Beautiful work Robbie. That looked like a good challenge and it turned out lovely!

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Erik Anderson Thank you Erik

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Beautiful piece Robbie, as usual very well demonstrated, Great to see you back in the workshop, take care, Harry

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

The Little Garden Shed Workshop Thanks Harry i was in and out of the Cave turning this one for days jess i thought it would start growing again it took that long lol

[@JimsonMakes]

A beautiful vase Robbie. Cheers, Jim

[@michaelflynn6178]

Very nice Robbie I agree Al does interesting work

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Michael Flynn Thank you Michael

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent...! Beautiful piece...! Cheers...

[@peterstewart9376]

really nice robbie! I was curious to see what you were going to get out of that piece of wood and it came out far better than I would of thought. Nice bit of turning there Robbie! All the best, Peter

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Peter Matthew Thank you Peter

[@baconsoda]

That came out very well and taking the knots out made it look even better. I have a deep Yew vase waiting to be hollowed out but I can't get down to the bottom so I'm going to have to practice with a couple of huge scrapers my mate made for me and give it another go. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

baconsoda Hi Brendan this was one of the crough you gave me i have another one ill might give it a try Hopefully i won't forget what i am doing and not cock up lol All the best Robbie

[@vaggeliskoulalis6082]

baconsoda Wood toulip

[@ramblinginmeath4950]

Is Robbie still doing the wood turning

[@sparklewindowcleaning874]

I wish I was a fraction as good as you lovely piece have you moved or had a change round

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Gary Harris Thanks Gary i cleaned up the shop

[@martinboyle6632]

Great looking vase Robbie. That finish looks nice. Be interesting to see over time if the UV protection works. I've been looking forward to this video since you posted the picture of the piece on the lathe. Despite taking off the branches the vase looks great. Al has some fantastic videos and as you say is really passionate about turning. I always have a serious amount of tool envy watching your videos, the hollowing tools look great.

[@AlFurtado]

Martin Boyle Thank you Martin

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Martin Boyle Thanks Martin i am a tool junkie well i don't buy anything just tools ill have to wait and see how this finish works out i'll be letting everyone know as time passess

[@martinboyle6632]

Robbiethewoodturner my next investment is going to be a bandsaw. Been keeping my eye out on the second hand market but hopefully going to pick up a 12 or 14 inch bandsaw in the next few weeks.

[@robertkutz]

robbie nice turning great job. bob

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Robert Kutz Thank yew Bob

[@susandunne351]

hi Robbie as a novice turner really enjoy your videos - are you going to add more soon?

[@Mauroiltornitore]

Beautiful, Robbie!! Ciao. Mauro

[@MrPoppadog1955]

very nice Robbie just found your channel look forward to watching your videos. Not a turner myself but looking to start.

[@dogwoodtales]

Nicely done!

[@PBUCKY1969]

Beautiful work Robbie - I see this was a while ago, are you well? Really enjoyed watching - cheers - Paul

[@randywood4782]

good job Robbie

[@gunterschone8402]

Beautiful video, Robbie. The vase looks very nice. The yew has a beautiful wood color. Thanks for the "recipe" for the surface treatment (lacquer, tung oil, white spirit). The turning tool, which have worked in the end. Have you sharpened it, or was it when buying already so?

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Günter Schöne thanks Gunter i sharpened the tool myself

[@jimholladay2383]

Thanks Robbie!

[@markhannum1049]

Robbie: Love the vase. I especially enjoyed the close ups of your tool work. Very educational for me, a fairly new turner. Oh yes, can you amp up your voice in the videos? When you speak I am sure you have something of value to say. The music is great while you are turning, but I want to hear your comments. Thanks; Mark

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

Mark Hannum Thanks Mark ill turn up the sound next time

[@bobosterberg1751]

Robbie, I have not seen anything new in a long time. I pray all is well. Do you plan on doing any new videos? You are certainly missed. God Bless, Regards, Bob

[@paveltupchiy8459]

Very nice

[@Tommyakridgedesigns]

Have not seen you on here in a while, worry and hoping you are good

[@ssixpak]

The vase turned out really beautiful, at around 8 minutes I thought you were going to end up with an 'egg cup' lol

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

***** yep a egg cup for a Trex :-)

[@keithseabolt731]

looks cool

[@sandyj1561]

miss your videos x

[@elisaparris8415]

I think it is what it should be beautiful

[@johnmay3266]

Robbie, nicely done. Got to your site through Stephen Ogle. Your vases are an inspiration. What sort of tool rest were you using at the end to go deep?

[@mavdad55]

Ps: I prefer satin finishes too except for bird house ornaments

[@jarmstrong2843]

Anyone know what happened to Robbie? He has not posted a video in quite some time.

[@tootallhanssen9865]

+Robbiethewoodturner how come you stopped posting? All ok?

[@mprebelato]

God

[@ideaguyinks]

You do nice work, but your music is too loud and I can't hear what you are saying.

[@davidhall8874]

People, don't ruin good videos with music. If you are making a music video, we'll and good. But don't use music as background sounds to cover up turning sounds.

[@BipolarBowler]

Hey Robbie, are you still alive or did your ancestors drinking catch up with you?
