Wow, Dave sure has pissed some people off... I use to cut wood for him, but that was yrs ago. I have yew but in board form. I have staves, but peoples expectations can be more sometimes than a guy can provide..... :-\ Most yew is NOT perfect, and it is very difficult to get a permit. (wondering how he comes up with so much myself) Getting yew is not a process of asking a property owner for permission....you have to deal with the state...not easy. I have cut tons of mid-to-low elevation yew on private property, not a lot in the way of high elevation....but I know where its at. :laugh:  For those that where on another thread trailer parks DON'T give permission to cut yewregardless of what Dave says...I call BS.

Twistedlimbs I just had a split stave given to me. It's been in a barn 4-5 years when I got it home I split it in two. I have an imediate use for one. The other has a small crook in the middle would probably need heated to put the tips in line. Still has alot of wood to work with 3- 3.5" wide guessing could be more and maybe 65" long. I built one other bow from P.Y. fast wood very responsive, but not the holy grail of bows, just my opinion. I would be interested in trading if Keenan hasn't already overfilled your desire. If your interested let me know I will give you some accurate measurements and discriptions. Give me a day or two because I'm not the best at checking my messages.  ;D
