Yew - How it looks from log to turned item

[HarryJ]

Hi

Whilst getting the link for my previous post in this thread I noticed this book

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wood-Identifica ... im_sbs_b_2

One of the reviews states there are drawings of the tree, leaves etc. - unfortunately there is no 'view inside' feature on this book, does anyone here have a copy and would care to comment on it's content?

Regards Mick

I have this book, and find it very helpful, and also just nice to own.

I've added an image of the European Yew entry so you can decide on its content for yourself (I hope you can read it okay despite the flash line from my camera)

Thanks,
Harry

That looks like a VERY useful book.

Seriously thinking about it. An interesting retirement project.

Why not submit some contributions to http://www.wood-database.com/wood-identification/

Hi

Just stumbled across this site - quite a lot of info and photos regarding a lot of the woods commonly used in turning.
