Purple stain on Yew
Just turned a beautiful piece of Yew that has a little swirly purple
stain in an area around a knot in the white sapwood. In this case it actually looks quite attractive, so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering what might have caused it? Some kind of mould / fungus maybe? -- Alun Saunders |

Purple stain on Yew
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). robo hippy |

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. Hotfoot "robo hippy" wrote in message oups.com... Alun, I think that it is just because it is yew wood.
