The Versatility of Yew Wood
Yew wood is renowned for its rich, warm hues and intricate grain patterns. The golden tones mixed with deeper reds and subtle purples make it a showstopper in any project.

The slab’s thick, substantial build lends itself to a variety of uses, from modern minimalist furniture to more rustic designs that highlight its natural character.
