Trinket Pot 3 – Yew & Mahogany

A beautiful handcrafted yew wood trinket pot (with mahogany lid) from perhaps among one of the hardest of all softwood species, Yew is certainly a unique wood species. The trinket pot has been created from a branch sourced from Ystradfellte Cemetery in Brecon and is from a tree said to be about 1,000 years old that fell down during a storm. The wood was turned on a lathe to create the unique beautiful bowl and then finished with shellac and hand-polished with four coats of black bison clear polish to bring about the beautiful shiny look and smooth feel.
