I am looking to build a bow and thought I would post and see if anyone has a Yew tree or knows of anyone that would be willing to part with some wood.

The ideal situation would be someone with a tree that was just or about to be cut. I would also be willing to look at a log that had been "seasoning" on the ground for a while.

Longbow ... Based upon my draw length (31"), I was thinking about a 6' stave would be necessary. However, I could splice a couple shorter billets together.
