search for raptor archery and also don adams archery.  Both sell seasoned yew staves and billets of high quality, however, I seem to remember that both of them ask a pretty high price for their yew. Occasionally you see some on ebay.  I just cut some yew this weekend with a couple of PA friends, but it will be a year before it is ready to make a bow.

Would you pay shipping as well? I may be able to get you some yew. It's located in Europe, and since I don't know where you are located, I'm not sure if it'll work.

Another possibility is Medicinebowwoods. I can't give you the direct link, but Google it.

Darksoul- thanks for the offer! I would pay shipping. I live in the US and I reside in Bloomington Minnesota. As far as the feasibility of this transaction... I am unsure also-but let me know what you think.
CMB thanks for the info I will check it out.
