時を重ねてThe yew at NEKO · Carlow
Nature wrote the story.
We set the table.
A real Irish yew trunk. A naturally hollow heart.
An extraordinary setting for an evening at NEKO.
Look a little closer
Yes, the wood is real.
The deep folds, flowing grain and hollow interior belong to the yew itself. Simon applied resin as a protective finish, giving the surface its distinctive sheen. The cherry blossoms are decorative; beneath them is genuine Irish yew wood.
