Grrrr ftzzzz hissss.Hopefully you educated the chainsaw wielding idiots so that any future Yew will saved and flagged up to you.Were they forestry commission guys? tell 'em you don't mind paying £30 for a decent 7-8' length.Drives me to distraction, on the one hand we have old biddies who won't let you break wind near a Yew tree, then there are nutters who have no concept of either their value to the environment or the bowyer... calm calm.Still you sholud get some primitives from the billets. A nice wideish flatish shortish Yew bow is a thing of beauty and great for field shooting.Jeez 'compound archer' ... <slaps head with paw> I hope you spoke slowly to him so he could understand Del
Looks like a good haul to me,sounds like our US folks also.I had them look at my place and tell what I needed to do to manage the woods,first thing they wanted me to do is cut all the Junk wood [they called it]Hickory/Hackberry/Beach/HHB and keep only Poplar/Oak[white/red ]Ash and selected Elm.I said Ya right. I will manage it myself. Pappy
