Working from my little workshop set in the english countryside, I look for interesting wood. This piece is made from locally sourced yew, this hand-turned wooden pot celebrates the natural beauty and variation of the wood. Carefully cut from a local tree and thoughtfully shaped, the piece retains a strong sense of place and origin.
Turning the pot off centre allows the grain and colour to move freely, revealing striking contrasts between dark heartwood and warm, lighter sapwood. A natural live edge has been left on the rim, preserving the original line of the tree and adding an organic, sculptural quality.
Each piece is shaped by hand rather than forced into symmetry, allowing the character of the yew to guide the final form. Subtle movement, depth, and surface variation mean no two views are the same.
Finished by hand and woodturned with care, this is a one-of-a-kind vessel is suitable as a decorative wooden pot, sculptural object, or natural accent for the home.

Full description
Turned from a local yew; this pot celebrates the beauty of the tree.
A hand-turned hollow form made from locally sourced yew, celebrating the natural character and quiet strength of the tree.
An ode to Yew
The rim keeps a little of the live edge,
a quiet line where bark once held the sky.
Off-centre, it leans into its own nature,
letting grain wander,
letting colour speak,
dark heartwood folding into warm sap,
each shade finding the next.
The item is intended as a decorative sculptural vessel, ideal for display on a shelf, sideboard or mantelpiece. It is a one-of-a-kind object, shaped slowly and thoughtfully to honour the wood it came from.
Height: 10cm
Opening Diameter: approx 9cm at widest point
Finish: Hand sanded and finished with oil to enhance the natural grain
As with all handmade work, natural variations in colour, grain and form are part of its beauty- no two pieces are ever the same.
A thoughtful gift for lovers of wood, nature inspired interiors.
Safety: Care & Safety Information: Crafted from natural yew wood, which is toxic if ingested and not food-safe. Wood may naturally expand or move with moisture; avoid prolonged dampness. Do not place near heat sources.
