Japanese Yew Display Boards
Japanese Yew Display Boards
Handcrafted from a fallen Japanese Yew that was planted in the 1940’s at Tyler Arboretum, these large slices of wood are unique with their beautiful grain pattern and deep orange color. Carefully sanded and finished with Betty’s Board Butter. Movement in the wood is normal and considered part of its charm. Clean with a damp cloth. Dry immediately. Re-oil occasionally.
Yew has some toxic properties so this particular display board is NOT considered food safe. Just don’t eat directly off this wood slice. It’s still lovely for decoration, display, or used as a hot plate.
If you haven’t been to Tyler Arboretum yet, you should. It’s absolutely magical. One of the oldest arboreta in the northeastern U.S., Tyler Arboretum encompasses 650 acres of renowned plant collections, heritage and champion trees, historic buildings and 17 miles of hiking trails through woodlands, wetlands and meadows.
