I found out about it accidently through a friend of mine. he works for a private timber company as a forestry cruiser. he told me that there was some yew in some logging that they did. He gave me a contact number and through a lot of phone calls, was able to aquire a permit, although there was some red tape to deal with, it went pretty smooth. try contacting forestry companies in your area and see if there is any yew available for salvage. this deck is behind a locked gate, so nobody has messed with it. I will have a hard time working this week, will be thinking about getting some more of it! some of the larger yew has some rot setting in so it is worthless, but there is a lot of useable wood. besides, it makes a great wood for a fire in my tipi!
