I recently recieved a nice chunk of air dried yew, that has been sitting in a shop for quite some time. I am making something like a plate with high sides and a mug, for when I'm camping. It is the most fun I've had yet, no catches and the wood turns beautifully. No matter how badly I'm turning, the wood is so nice I'm getting big long shavings that smell great. So I've certainly learned that some woods are better then others.
