"Roy suggested yesterday that this is yew. And he does know a thing or two about wood..."

Looks like he's spot on-

A luscious colour.

I shall refrain from you/yew jokes, suffice to say that yew is far too decorative to burn on an open fire or in a log burner. Such a beautiful wood deserves a better fate. I'm not even sure it burns efficiently...

The version shows how wonderful it would be to have a table top made from that fabulous log, Moira.
Your lead image, showing the logarithm of life.

the cross-cut sections reveal beautiful wood grain textures and they do look great in colour

Thanks folks, the colour version may appear in its own right some time.
I have no idea what happened to the logs. It would be sad to think of them heading for a fireplace.

Yew have two fine captures here, Moira! 😁 I do rather prefer the version in colour to the earlier mono... 👍

Such beautiful wood. This definitely is much better in color.
This looks like it started out as two trees which grew together. It has two "hearts"

A nice pile of yule tide logs but I think they would have to dry out quite a bit before using! I find they look better in colour..

Having seen this in colour now - it isn't Yew ….. the bark is wrong.
The colour is fairly close to Yew but that is the amount of moisture on the cut end.
The bark and the 'drier' cut end say Beech. The darker areas are caused by rot - which Beech is very susceptible to due to the way it forks quite young in its life which allows water and debris to sit in the forks and weaken the tree over time.
