To answer Sawdust Makers question, No it is not 'Dead Wood'.
Yew is a Softwood, one of the 3 Native to the United Kingdom.
The Heart wood is that lovely Honey colour although reds and purples are not unknown. The Sap Wood is a creamy White in colour, it is that change that you can see.
And it is that natural lamination between the soft springy Sapwood and the Hard Heartwood that makes them so good for Bow Staves, made famous by the English Bowmen.
Strange as it may seem the Yew used to make bows was rarely English, ours is too twisted and gnarly. Trade agreements, even through the European Wars, generally included Southern European Yew as part of the payment. Italian Yew being considered some of the best.Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!
