Yew Won't Believe This Platter! Woodturning Magic in Action

In this video, watch as we transform a beautiful piece of Yew wood into a stunning platter using carbide woodturning tools from Easy Wood Tools on the powerful Harvey T60S wood lathe. From shaping the wood to achieving a flawless finish, we’ll show you the entire process. We'll also take you through our finishing steps using Yorkshire Grit abrasive paste and Hampshire Sheen microcrystalline wax, leaving the platter with an exquisite shine and smoothness. Whether you’re a woodworking enthusiast or just love seeing craft in action, this is a must-watch! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more woodworking projects!

Jamie, almost all the blanks I can buy here in the States are square. Is it the same in the UK and you make them round a few months before you plan on making a video, or do them come round for you? Lovely platter by the way!
