Re: yew love spoon

Re: yew love spoon

OMG! Git it out! for shame! Actually its probably nice and safe! That stuff is wonderful! I think once you start with Yew you will have a whole new carving bug! It is toxic-said that Arrows made of Yew would kill you twice...once from the Arrow...and once from the toxic! It is also where they are finding help for Breast cancer, under the bark. In California, it is a $10,000 fine if you are caught cutting one down! Whoops To me it is Sacred, like it was to many many cultures. It ages so beautifully...as long as you don't chew on it you should be fine " Slips of Yew, slivered in a full moons light" is one of the main ingredients in the Witches Brew from MacBeth Dig it out-give it a go! Because of how dense it is, you can carve really small and really intricate...it can chip and **** you off, but the end result is worth any stress it may cause you-which will be minimal! GET IT OUT! It wants to be used! And make sure you share pics with us!

Re: yew love spoon

Thats a great looking spoon! Is Yew toxic to work with? I have a large block of it that was given to me years ago and it has just been laying under my bed. I'd forgotten all about it until I read your post. Maybe I'll have to drag it out and do something with it!

Re: yew love spoon

Great use of symbolism in the piece. I can see why it was hard to give away with all of the heart felt messages embodied in it....but I cannot think of it anywhere but in the hands of those it was carved for either. It belonged to them when the ideas were conceived.

Re: yew love spoon

Awwwww...thanx ya'll! I am contemplating carving another today...lol...I really want one!
