Curt, I have a little bit of yew in board form. PM your address and size needed. Can you post a pic of a Grumley recurve? I have seen many osage Grumleys but never one with yew. Is it from his later days as an independent with "modern" material backed bows?

How long of piece do you need?  I just looked at the pictures of the bow and would say that bow is probably worth more as is just from the historic factor without doing any repairs. I read you are making a replica as well. I have some yew that was a 12 inch log about ten feet long. The guy had left it out side for several years so the outer is checked and bad but looks to have some solid inside areas. are you wanting smaller limb length sections or full length? I also have a pile of short cut offs for the handle build up
