This large Japanese Yew is an exceptional piece of
material, which requires a high level of creativity, skill and technique
to bring out it's full potential.
The extensive deadwood shows a great deal of natural
character, and the thin life veins twist around the elegant trunk
helping to make this material such a challenge to work with.
