Yew pieces

[Bembioni]

I have a few pieces of yew, not a massive amount by any stretch, does anybody know what it's worth at the mo and who is buying?

[Dan Earp]

I have been looking into the same thing. From the advice given etc. find a local turner or sell on ebay.

Cut them into blanks say from 2" to 7" or say that you can cut to order.

 

A piece at2m by 8" average may go for £50-£60 but as said you'd might make more by selling in blanks.

O its also easier to postage in smaller pieces rather than a length 👍

Yeah thanks, it wasn't a massive tree but had to be cut into handy sizes to carry out, biggest piece is roughly 2 foot by 8 inches dia, rest of the trunk and a few bits of cord down to 2 inches, seems a shame to just log it up, think I will try e bay.

Careful

I experimented by putting 4 boards of Yew on ebay with no reserve 6ft long and 12ins wide and from 1 to 2 ins thick ,just did it to test the water and see what they fetched

£6.51 for all 4 Its a difficult market at the minute

Bit far for me, good luck with the sale though. Why not try asking your local wood turning club see if they want any?

Best place is the firewood pile. Theoretically I'm sitting on a fortune in yew, but nobody wants to offer decent money.

 

I think it was gensetsteve on here who said he likes to play a game with wood turners, stuffing yew and blackthorn into the processor and watching them try desperately to yank it back out!

It worth some thing to the right person
