Turned from not quite dry (but not soaking) Yew.

Again a "commission" from the guy who wanted the bowl. This was left to me to design but had to be hollowed to 5 inch deep by 2 1/2" dia inside. Well that was bloody hairy with the Hope hollowing tool, 5 inch is the limit for it, chatters a lot and stops being effective.

The pot is 7 inch overall as he wanted plenty of weight in the base so I made it a bit wider as well.

Enjoyed doing this as I was allowed to play so tried a bead at the base which seems to have worked ok.

Left plain sanded as per his request.
