Besides seal the ends and how toxic the dust is, what can anyone tell me about Yew wood. It has been down about a year so the smaller pieces are ready to make into boxes, now but there are some bowl size blanks that will have to dry. Yew checks when sanding if it gets too hot so does anyone here know what will happen if I do a microwave process? Any other things I should know about the wood?
Thanks for any and all comments.
