I Bought the UGLIEST Wood – And Struck GOLD Again!

Another piece from the same storm-damaged yew tree — and once again, what looked like nothing more than firewood turned into something truly special on the lathe. This block was cracked, twisted, and rough on the outside, but the grain hidden within tells a completely different story. Join me as I take this ugly lump of wood and try to bring out the beauty hiding inside.

If you missed the first piece from this tree, you’ll know just how surprising yew can be — and this one didn’t disappoint either!

Thanks for watching and feel free to leave comments in the chat below.
