Woodturning - Yew Won't Be Expecting This!

I love working with Yew but didn't know how I wanted this piece to look before I started to get into the turn. Yew always has such amazing character and I wanted to try something a little different, which is why I added the 4 "legs" in the middle of the piece. I hope they become some point a talking point and the focus of this piece, I especially like the differences in finish between the two areas, and how natural they look compared to the top and bottom sections.
The piece has been sanded to 1000 grit and finished with Danish oil, sanding sealer, and wood wax.

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I seem to be suffering from an Optrex overdose on this one.

[@Sheepdogtraveling]

The cup part is nice and elegant. From there down seems a bit clunky. The two parts don't seem to match.

[@pannikt4615]

Good stuff ! 👌

[@CraigInNC]

Fascinating to watch take shape. Not related, except the wood, but my favorite yew creation was from an artist that carved a female sheep. Sign said it was a "yew ewe for you". I enjoy your channel.

[@solidarityworkers6900]

😂😂😂

[@kimberlyryan8618]

I love the irregular carving in the center! It looks like a vine!

[@amberallen6046]

A Gothic masterpiece Harry

[@cookiescoop6065]

Very beautiful piece sir have a great day

[@expatmoose]

I love yew, the woods quite nice too😂😂😂😂😂 seriously though I’ve used this wood a few times, not only does it look nice with all the colours but smells great too, off to watch

[@rennaehanson9996]

Beautiful cup Harry!

[@amandatallis9875]

Hello Harry this piece if Yew looks awesome the grain and the colours in it really set this piece of wood off. The cup is magnificent and unique. I give you 10 out of 10. Amanda xx

[@rebeccaloader4111]

Yew are right! I love this.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you very much Rebecca! What do you think of the 4 legs? Should I do another with fewer? 😊

[@rebeccaloader4111]

I like the 4 legs, but 3 would be awesome!​@@HarrySmithWoodturning

[@gregonline6506]

Beautiful!

[@rjung_ch]

What a great idea! 👍💪✌

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you! What do you think of the 4 legs? Should I do another with fewer? 😊

[@rjung_ch]

@@HarrySmithWoodturning That would be nice, maybe even more twisted if possible?

[@ecmarks438]

Stunning! Enjoyed watching your creation take shape.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you Very much! Did you like the twisted stem? Should I do another with fewer legs, what do you think? 😁👍

[@ecmarks438]

@@HarrySmithWoodturning I did like the twisted legs and it was cool to see how you achieved the look. As to more or less, I leave that to your creativity. Obviously you can see possibilities in the wood that I can't imagine. It's probably why I find stone statues intriguing...how did the creator see that in a block of stone.

Muy lindo trabajo, y esa madera que belleza!!!!👏👏👏💖💖💖🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Thank you Ronaldo! Did you like the twisted stem? Should I do another with fewer legs? 😁👍

[@lucianosalt2396]

Very special

[@stinkbug4321]

I like how they speed up the camera to dull how long it takes. Also editing each process to make it look like it got completed in one session, not several days.

[@solidarityworkers6900]

Wow!!! Yew're right ✅ 👌 🤣 😮

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank YEW SOL! Did you like the twisted stem? Should I do another with fewer legs, what do you think? 😁👍

[@solidarityworkers6900]

I loved it Harry! 🤔 How about three legs but twisted like a loose knot?

[@douglasbonney7836]

Great job on the cup but aren’t fabric gloves dangerous to wear when turning?

[@stevenanderson4644]

Drilling the legs sacrificed beautiful grain.

[@mattkime8361]

Yew do yew.

[@gisele8854]

Don’t like the knot holes in the cup. Would certainly leak. Just an ornamental piece, I guess.

[@buddyboyer2274]

Would you please tell me what you’re using on the rag? Oil, polish or shine juice. You use it alot and I’m learning an awful a lot from you. I enjoy all your videos and like I said learn a lot from you. Too bad you’re across the pond. 😂

[@julierisher8867]

What finish do u use? I know it's a type of.wax..... Thanks

[@user-sj2bt8ei3x]

I see those gloves and just think of what might happen. The end result of your piece is beautiful though.

[@glennclarke9787]

Hi Harry, what oil are you finishing off with?

[@nobodysbusiness8791]

King Arthur's Chalice?

[@dougthatcher3521]

Beautiful! I do not understand the need for more "grinding" after the middle section was done, I would have thought it would have been risky to lathe more off after those thin strands were completed!

[@ronaldhorne5106]

That’s the thing about artistic people, their vision of the finished piece changes continuously.

[@orlandl.blanchard5423]

What is that??

[@DeathMetalMusic-SavedMe]

I reckon a Goblet, sometimes people turn them with rings from the material around the stem so you can't get them off unless you great them, around the stem, the most I've seen is 3 rings, and I saw one that had 3 spiral stems like this each individual yet all twisting the same, I hope that helped Cheers 🍻 Matt Maryborough Queensland Australia 🦜 🦘 🤠 🇦🇺

[@kerirenner5341]

The branches in the middle.. NO.... The grain was so beautiful and lost on your attempt to make branches 😢

[@beverlym5465]

I gotta ask, why?

[@TheEROTOKRITOS]

Nice effort, but you made two mistakes!! First you chose the wrong wood full of cracks and second mistake the branches in the middle you made are dissimilar to each other, he wanted more attention to the sanding and sandpaper that you would pass through!!! But keep loving what you do and you will improve!!! Hello from Stuttgart!!!!

[@user-pe7si7cf7k]

Poor choice of wood the crack’s will open up over time

[@GoodWoodsuk.co.uk_ebay]

Spectacular Harry👍
