: Anyone have any thoughts or experience using either of these woods
: for kayak building. Brought home a couple logs of both. Heard
: that Yew is excellent for bending (used for long bows). How
: would it hold up in a kayak? Or perhaps it is too good or rare
: and better suited for another project??

Hi Aaron,
What Brian and Clayton said. Bowyers will buy it gladly if it's straight. It usually is. Enough for two or three bows would get you enough to pay for three or four kayak frames, and maybe a skin.
