Thats a nice looking bowl George..... but someone has to ask the obvious question........ How do you know its Irish ?

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

It is different than English Yew Graham English Yew is Taxus Baccata irish Yew is Taxus Baccata (Fastigiata)
Bark and needles are different the gran on the irish Yew does not seem to be as dense and it smells totally different when you turn it.
