Yew timber

Yew timber comes from the yew tree, a coniferous tree known for its dense, durable, and fine-grained wood. Historically valued for its strength and workability, yew timber has been used in woodworking, furniture, and bow-making. Its natural properties include resistance to decay and an attractive appearance, making it a sought-after material for high-quality craftsmanship. The wood has a characteristic reddish-brown hue with a smooth finish, and it ages well over time. Despite its beauty and utility, yew trees are often protected or regulated due to their ecological and historical significance.
