finding yew in the UK

Stan,
Most people who care enough to collect yew wood for bow making aren't going to let it go.
I have some twisted yew I'd part with but it wouldn't make an easy bow. I cut it into billets to join at the handle but it would still be a challenge to get a good bow from.

Thanks Mark - that's probably a bit challenging for me.  I wouldn't expect people to part with their own carefully private supplies - was hoping there might be someone in the timber trade over here who is dealing in this stuff, but it seems not.

EU directive:

I do not know if this does apply Britain in practise, but round wood requires official paperwork for kiln drying certificate, or
it will be conficated by customs. I think they want to block plant diseases at EU border.
