Here is a unique one-Pacific Yew Frame!

A customer came into the shop looking for a unique frame for a large antique world map.

Here is what he came up with-

He chose one of our 8/4 Pacific Yew natural edge slabs, had us rip it in half and then re-saw each side into book-matched sets.

It is always fun to re-saw pieces and look at the bookmatch-


Anyways, here is a rough idea of the frame the customer will construct.

Now that is a big map! We can't wait to see the finished piece.

The creativity of our customers never ceases to amaze us!

We still have a healthy supply of Pacific Yew slabs in stock here at the shop.

It's all dry, nice and wide, up to 14' long, and is ON SALE for $15/BF!
-Can't beat that!

Primarily used for archery bows, this material is also a good option for fireplace mantles, rustic furniture, turnery, marquetry, carvings...and frames.

Give us a call for more information.
