Recently we have had a problem getting hold of suitable Yew branch wood as Yew and Laburnum are best for this exercise.
An Email to Ian Metheringham of Turners Cabin turned up trumps not only did Ian send me a box of free Yew he has kindly offered to sponsor the wood supplies for future courses.
Very good qualite wood as you casee from the following pic
