: Is this Yew wood really valuable? There are lots of wood turners on
: the island and maybe I should sell it or return it to the
: gentleman I got it from. However I was just told that there is a
: bit of it around here. I am on Salt Spring Island BC

I can't say how valuable or marketable your wood is but here is a video of interest.
