Yew

[Neil Lawton]

A little Yew pot 3 3/4" x 2" with Brass inlay which is nice and shiny in real life. Finished in Hard Wax Oil.

This looks great. Did you melt the brass into it?

You don't do plain do you..... Another little stunner mate

It's Sintered metal which is basically a real metal but in a powdered form. On small pieces like this you just flood the cavity with Ca and pour in the powder. Once dry you can turn or sand back. On bigger holes you can mix it with Epoxy to form a paste and build it up to fill. I have Brass, Aluminium, and Old Silver but you can get copper as well. I believe Turners retreat stock some.

Super thanks!

That is another lovely little bowl Neil, well done.

Nice bowl Neil yew has some great colour and the brass sets it off.

Just a note about using epoxy to hold the brass powder in place if too little brass is used in the mix it will end up green in colour. Other than that I agree with how to apply it to holes

Some bowl Neilm like the sintered metal addition.

Very nice. I like working with Yew. Great colour when turning all sorts of pens.

Sorry about the pen turned with Antler and Walnut, should have been the pen turned in Yew. Bill

Correction I hope for sending wrong file .. Sorry about that. I hope my attempts at pen turning are ok.
