I built this project using yew, a beautiful wood with pin knots that add character. It's dense, strong, tight-grained and finishes spectacularly. That said, it will be tough to find if you don't live in the Pacific Northwest. Because you're unlikely to find yew at a traditional lumberyard, you might want to use alder or cherry instead. And if you do find yew for sale, bring your moisture meter to ensure it has been dried properly. Begin construction by cutting out the parts according to the Schedule of Materials. Glue up a top and set it aside. If you're using yew, it would be wise to make the top from three or four boards to reduce warping. by Jim Stuard |
