Title: Wood Idenification.
Post by: Kanga on June 30, 2009, 09:37:00 AM

I have been offered this board, was told it is Yew.

All the pictures I have seen of Yew where not this color so now I am wondering what this wood is.

Can anyone idenify it for me?

Thanks in advance.

I dont know if that's Tigerwood or not.  Though droptine might have it right.  Sure is pretty though.
