More yew

[woodfarmer]

When I started turning last year I thought I would find oak and ash in abundance but never thought I would find any yew. As luck would have it ash of bowl turning size has been pretty elusive but last January I fetched a trailer load of Yew. Yesterday, following a tip off I got another half trailer load. Again, from someone's garden and in the way.

Lucky! I need to find somewhere to get a bunch of free / cheap wood. Managed to get two small pieces of...something from my mothers garden.

This lot cost £50 and just over 150 miles of driving.......

I've no idea how much Yew goes for but I'm almost certain that's still a bargin.

get on ebay, i must have had about 2 ton of laburnum from people who have no idea what it can be used for, they listed it as firewood!
picked up one lot for £20 and full tree for £15 from manchester. Ive got my eye on another tree at the back of a derelict house pressing against a brick wall. might have to remove it to stop the wall falling over..... :wink:

contact you local tree surgeons, they have to pay to get rid of wood if they cant process it. i have about 6 tree surgeins in my phone now.
also contact local joinery manufacturers, they will have skips full of hardwood offcuts ready for digging through.
