The term softwood has nothing to do with the actual hardness/softness of the wood. They are one of the botanical groups of trees that, in most cases, have needlelike or scale like growths rather than broad leaves. These trees are known as conifers.

Description:

Historically, this wood came from Cuba. It now primarily comes from Brazil. Sadly it has been identified as an endangered species by the International Organization, CITES. Traditionally it is used for the making of cigar humidors, however, the presence of gum presents some difficulty in staining and polishing. Not a true cedar.

Taxus brevifolia family Taxaceae	Western Yew

Description:
Not to be misconstrued with the European variety, this is indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. Its European cousin has a long-standing history in European warfare. Our local stock shares common values such as bending and crushing strengths; it is springy. We offer boards with a live edge and like arbutus there is some natural twist. On maturity, the colour becomes a magnificent “cognac” orange. It is Shelley’s favourite.
