And ELB made with a yew stave is not fundamentally different than any other stave. True, a laminated ELB is different, but all staves are basically the same. The only difference is the layout in width (design) and the approach of sapwood removal. Other then that, you can use any ELB build along.

Del's blog is excellent for tips about yew.
