Purple stain on Yew
Over the years I have found many hues of red and purple in yew, you seem to
get more of it in older larger trees, or that is my experience.

Alun,
I think that it is just because it is yew wood. I haven't turned a lot
of it, but have had some that was all yellow, some that had purple
streaks in it, and some that developed a purple patina as it dried
(which sanded out, and didn't return).
