This is a small yew hollow form. I thought it was going to be a straight forward solid piece when I started but was surprised at what I found.

Thanks Guys this is easier than people may think as you can see the thickness through the gap as it turns. The part about keeping it together is easy turn outside as normal then start the inside but only the neck area once that is done I wrapped that section with masking tape, then hollowed the rest as normal.

Stunner and damn amazing. I bet you were chuffed to bits as that started to appear. That's an aspirational piece.
