Blue Resin Yew Wooden Didgeridoo
All my didgeridoos are hand made by myself, and made to be played. If you want to know what goes into making a wooden didgeridoo such as this, further information can be found in How to Make a Didgeridoo.

Yew Blue Resin Didge
Background: This didge was given to me a request to coat in a layer of blue shiny resin. I must stress, the didgeridoo itself was NOT made by me, but by Ant Scott.
The yellow in the timber of the Yew didgeridoo affected the blue colour in the resin - making it a sort of greeny colour. I tried (somewhat unsuccessfully) to introduce a subtle shade of blue, though as it turned out the thicker, or more opaque colour works well. I shall certainly experiment with some different finishes to didges when I have the chance.
