I'm afraid this is only really addressed to makers in Europe, but it is the easiest way to pass the message.
I've just been contacted by a friend in Northern Brittany who has between 6 and 7 m3 of yew trunks that he would like to sell. They are from 30 to 60 cm in diameter and are not hollow. I have not seen them, as I live quite a bit further south, but from what I know of him, I have no reason to doubt their soundness. I cannot imagine that any individual maker would be interested in this much raw wood, but if you have any ideas about how to shift it, I am his intermediary. As a matter of interest some of you may know of him - Raoul Le Chenadec of the Ensemble Jachet de Mantoue among other things. Handy as he is with wood, he is not an instrument maker, and I would like to help him if possible. Thanks in advance Tony -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
