Yew – Classic European Hardwood Turning Blank

 

Yew (Taxus baccata and related species) is a legendary hardwood with a long history in fine craftsmanship, prized for its warm orange-brown heartwood, creamy sapwood contrast, and flowing, decorative grain. Revered for centuries in archery, furniture making, and turning, Yew offers timeless beauty with unmistakable character.

 

This premium Yew turning blank features fine, smooth grain that turns cleanly with sharp tools and light cuts. It holds crisp detail, sands easily, and finishes to a silky, glowing surface that highlights its natural color contrast and subtle figure. Occasional knots and color variation add depth and individuality to each piece.

 

Yew is ideal for pens, knife scales, bowls, boxes, finials, decorative turnings, carvings, and heirloom woodworking projects. Its moderate density and excellent workability make it approachable for most turners while delivering refined, high-end results.

 

Add historic elegance and natural warmth to your next project with carefully selected Yew wood blanks, chosen for vibrant color, clean grain, and premium turning performance.
