Thanks for the comments everyone.

Tom, yes Yew is unique to this part of the world. I gave Greg enough wood for three knives and I have a bit more. He had two made. I declined on the second knife, so I know there is my knife, and one more out there, with yew on it.

I am going to start searching for some more unique woods.
