I have a 10ft long 15 to 20 inch diameter yew trunk I
scavenged from the woods next door when they were cleared last
year.
Still debating whether to cut it up for logs or offer it to a
wood turner. Yew does make for a very good fire.

Yew is so slow growing it's worth quite a lot. In your
position I would sell it. You can use the money to buy far
more wood for burning than you would get from the yew.
Anyone want to buy a yew trunk ?
I looked on Ebay and woodturning blanks just 2 inched thick of
the diameter I have are selling for several pounds!!! But what
makes for a "woodturning blank" ?
Mike
So maybe the leylandii's not for burning, but the yew is for turning?
Didn't MH Thatcher have a shorter version?
Burn the witch?
