Pacific Yew Pen Blank (5 Pack) - 3/4"

The measurements above are for the shipping size. Each individual blank measures 5" x 3/4" x 3/4" (several blanks are shown to indicate the range of color/grain to expect). Pacific Yew is a dense wood that turns well and takes a buttery smooth, high natural polish. Rich orange color with a tint of red yields beautiful pens. Contrasting white sapwood is present in some blanks. The Yew tree is a small sub canopy species that grows in the Northwest on the rainy side of the state of Oregon. It is very similar in stature, wood color and density to an exotic species you would expect in Brazil but not Oregon! Skill Level: Beginner.
