Recommended Posts

Bit of a long shot but a friend has asked me to see if i can find anyone interested in some yew stem that he cut down. its been stored under a tarp and is in approx 3-4ft sections. 6-14" in diameter. few bits might be of use maybe. i told him it would have been more valuable in longer lengths but he couldnt move it himself as hes getting on a bit. It nr kings lynn norfolk. Any ideas if its worth trying to sell of should we just chop it up for firewood??

any decent woodturner should take it off your hands in return for some bowls out of it but don't be expecting to come away with a wad of cash.

 

lazarus is up your way.

I love carving with yew being a tree surgeon I have plenty of stock. However as mentioned above a turner would be interested. Most want bits for nothing but if it's clean and rot free I'd say the bigger lump would be worth 20 a foot.

Also if any of the thinner pieces are 6ft+ and straight they can be made into archery bows but that would probably be hard to find someone local.

Good luck anyway I'm sure someone will want it.
