Hi guys ive got a job on and the client wants a price on this yew stick, its 8.5 ft at base and 7.5 ft 12 ft up nice an round with no sign of decay would it be of any use to you guys or are there any west mids based timber merchants that would be interested. hiab transport available.

Cracking tree there. Shame for it to be taken down, but if that's what the customer wants....

 

I had a slightly smaller yew for my last kiln. I paid about £7 a hoppus foot, so on that basis you might be looking at £350 and up for the first 12ft.

 

Yew seems to kiln beautifully too - very easy with no cracking, distortion and it readily gives up it's moisture.

Again very envious. Milled some roughly 18 inch yew today and it wasn't anything more than average. Good luck finding a buyer!
