Why do we use yew in all our projects?

Yew wood is a popular choice for furniture making due to its unique properties and aesthetic appeal. One of the main benefits of using yew in furniture making is its durability and resistance to rot and decay. This makes it an ideal wood for outdoor furniture and other applications where the furniture will be exposed to the elements.

Another benefit of using yew in furniture making is its natural beauty. Yew wood has a reddish-brown colour with a distinctive grain pattern that can add character and elegance to any piece of furniture. It is also a relatively stable wood, which means that it is less likely to warp or twist over time.

One of the other benefits of using yew wood is its strength and density. Yew wood is technically a softwood but has the density of some of the hardest of hardwoods, which makes it a good choice for furniture that needs to support a lot of weight, such as tables and chairs. This density also makes the wood more resistant to impact, which can help to prolong the life of the furniture.

Overall, yew wood's natural resistance to decay, its unique aesthetic appeal, and its strength and density, make it an excellent choice for furniture making.
