Is yew wood durable enough to use as a knife handle? I want to have a custom knife made, and infuse it with some local, costal flavour. Will the yew stand up to use as a knife handle or will it dent too easily?
you could stabalize it?
For Yew I would have it impregnated with epoxy. Is is not a tough wood as for as taking abuse like a knife handle would.
