I've contacted Raptor Archery in Orgeon USA (nice and friendly - family run business)
Raptor Archery - Primitive & Traditional Archery and Bow Hunting Equipment - Bows, Arrows, Accessories
They sell Yew Billets for $100 which they can post to the UK. There's a $10 charge to strip the bark for the postal regulations, and airmail is ususally around $40-50.
RaptorArchery.com Store - Yew Billets
So all in, you are looking at $160 for a sweet pair of yew billets; or ?80ish in sterling.
I'm mightly tempted; it's still quite a bit of cash to spend for an amateur bowyer... and I have only made 1 longbow thus far... but what fun eh!
Any experiences of spliced self yew bowyery? Any tips/advice. I've read TBB1-3 so far...
Cheers, D
