	Arrr, good to have you on board. I have been known to pirate the odd tree myself. (Yew for making longbow). Just looked at the site...great. I notice you do 'woodland management' ... well... If you come across any Yew which is down or being felled, look out for any straight relatively knot free 7' lengths and let me know...decent Yew which can be 'harvested' is as rare as hens teeth.

	Sparrows and swans? Is that a reference to the "Pirates of The Caribbean" movies? __________________ CARPE CRUSTULORUM!

	Like hen's teeth unfortunately but we do have a Yew wood in Dorset. Not very big and i haven't had a look yet. Historically yew came in with ships from Spain and Portugal. I'll see wot's about. I have seen some in timber yards with yew in, but you need a mix between sap and heartwood. __________________ treepirate
