This piece was created specially for our 25th anniversary exhibition ‘Making Memories’.

“I only work with English Hardwoods such as these Yew pieces which came from the same old tree. They all ‘feel’ differently when worked. From over 50 years of experience I find I instantly remember how certain species will ‘feel’ as I start to cut the wood. Yew trees tend to grow very slowly with narrow annual rings and often lots of knots and fissures with the grain swirling in different directions.”
