Yew wood

Yew wood comes from the yew tree, a slow-growing evergreen native to temperate regions. It’s prized for its fine, dense grain and durability, making it ideal for high-quality furniture, cabinetry, and decorative items. Historically, yew wood was also used to make longbows due to its strength and flexibility. The wood has a rich, reddish-brown color with subtle grain patterns, adding aesthetic value. Despite its beauty and usefulness, yew trees grow slowly and can be sensitive to environmental conditions, so sustainable harvesting is important to preserve their populations.
