The coolest piece of Yew I've ever seen !!

I purchased this plank of Yew a while back, because it was probably the coolest piece of Yew I had seen. It was only an 1" thick and not very wide but thought it would be ideal for a couple of side river tables, I used some teal coloured epoxy to form the 'river' and decided to leave the natural edges (for now). The base is made from moisture resistant MDF and sprayed with a textured stone finish, I used this method to make a lamp years ago but not sure it matches well with the top, I'm pretty sure I will be making a new base for the top and a new top for the base😂 ... thanks for checking it out.

You asked for opinions so: I love the top. I love the base. But not in combination. They distract from each other and clash. I agree with others a nice simple polished concrete or marble top - preferably round on the deco base. A simple and understated base for that beautiful yew river top, and in wood….

That is weirdly beautiful! I love art deco, so the geometric base appeals to me, but I also love the natural wood. The way the grain goes with the gorgeous blue makes it look like a coloured geological map of a river basin! I'd definitely give it house room!

That top is stunning! I don't think it goes well with the base, though. I could see that base with like a slab of granite or marble.

I love the bass, I think it's extremely creative and artistic! I think I would have done a glass top on it rather than the one that you put on it. However, I absolutely love the top! I think that would make an amazing countertop in the kitchen or anywhere. LOL

Just love the simplicity of the stand design that makes this piece shine. I've no doubt this will be snapped up after it hits your site! Well done!!

The top is beautiful, and the base isn't bad, but I don't think it goes with the top. The top is very naturalistic with the wood grain and edges where the base is very artificial looking. A more natural wood base would be better in my opinion.

this is very elvish in its look! It has a whole urban fantasy vibe that i seriously love! The spiral base is fantastic and the paint you chose makes it look like burnished steel!

[Alexchachula]

The base was very interesting, I believe it works well with table top. You took quite a chance on this one. Very nicely done

I wasn't too sure at first, but now that I see it, it's really quite nice, I love the blue resin and the wood is just beautiful, all in all a lovely piece Andy

The coolest piece of wood yew've ever seen.

I really can't stop making wood puns.

Been a little while since I left any kind of comment on any of your videos. Been quite caught up in life and all that fun stuff.

I've always enjoyed watching the woodturning (and carpentry) process and getting to see what comes out of it! Very good content to watch when unwinding after a long day.

I wouldn't have thought to put these two together, but it works! I like the combination and they way it turned out. Nicely done!

I Love Yew. Love, Love, Love Yew. Whatever Yew is, I just Love it!! But seriously, I Love "Yew" That is Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Hugs, 🤗 from Woobie in Massachusetts USA

I love the base, and the top is absolutely stunning, but not sure about them together. That top though, Holy cow that is so beautiful!

[huckleberryjam]

It’s gorgeous! The combo is really striking.

[Sebastopolmark]

WOW Andy, I did not see that coming. That is a beautiful piece of wood and it got a great home! !! !!!

[leonasamuel]

I think Yew has become my favorite wood! It’s so beautiful! What a luxurious piece!

[OceanCrazie]

I was starting to question.🤔🫣🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Until you turned it over.... 😍🥰 Beautiful table!! 👏🤟🤗

[jacquelinehart]

The table top is very beautiful! I can see myself looking at it for hours. I get the idea about the base - but it doesn’t have the rustic beauty of the top. It’s good to experiment though otherwise how does anyone come up with anything! Thanks for this. Very inspiring!

[Dreamworld]

I like art deco so the stand is reminiscent of that. The wood is absolutely gorgeous. Very unique table.

[grahampickering]

Looks fantastic! The base looks great 👍
