   We have an abundance of low elevation yew on the pacific coast which as been largely overlooked because of low ring counts. I am thinking more and more about trying some of the 18 to 30 ring count wood. Steve

Steve,
Chris Boyton feels that English yew can be good with wide growth rings, I think density being the important factor. This may hold true for the yew you have over there as well.

Mark, going by the density actually does make more sense than the ring count. Steve
