Made a little forest of Yew trees

[JD1137]

A friend gave me some Yew branches, so I made a few trees. Bigger ones are about 8-9” tall. Put a coat of walnut oil on them. I usually sell these in groups of 3. Tall, medium and small in each set.

Yew (high toxicity rating) cuts very cleanly, so no sanding is necessary. I wear good breathing protection regardless.

Yew done great. I’m sure I’m not first to say that.

Pine trees fron yew trees! Genius!

Very cool John. I have to try something lke that this season soon. I have given out so many mini snowmen, I need to change it up this year.

You know Matt has some nice Mulberry that would give great contrast 'trees' colorwise.

Forest is right! Great backdrop for a complete nature scene.

Amazing. I love yew though its toxicity is annoying. I remember carving it once. I think I made a tree like yours and used a V-tool to add veins to make it look like needles. I am quite certain I gave it away. This was when I was still in NZ. I got the wood from an ornamental.

Great job! Nice forest!
