Tonewood Database « Guitarbench Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:29:04 +0000 http://guitarbench.com/?p=183#comment-9081 [...] As a tonewood… As a tonewood, Yew has been only infrequently used and predominantly by the UK luthiers. In my experience it is modestly difficult to work with, although care needs to be taken when bending the sides. UK based luthier Adrian Lucas says “the colour ranges from pale brown to purple in the heartwood and a creamy white in the sapwood. The grain patterns are quite striking as this is a softwood, being evergreen, although it has a density higher than many hardwoods.It grows in quite a twisted fashion and has a lot of knots and cracks. This makes it difficult to plane without tearing, so it’s best scraped and sanded. It’s also quite difficult to find in large sizes that are free of large knots and cracks, so I tend to make multi-piece backs using only the clear wood.” (read more about Adrian Lucas here) [...] [...] As a tonewood… As a tonewood, Yew has been only infrequently used and predominantly by the UK luthiers.
