Is it still a selfbow if someone else makes it?
As long as it's one piece of material not including knocks, grip and decorations it's a selfbow.
P.S. On the longbow topic. The Engish are the most famous for it's use, but not first to use a long bow. They do appear however to have used among the strongest bows in history, but they are very crude when compared to the technology of other nations at or before their time.

One of the best bow makers in the world lives in ... ABBOTSFORD!!! He works at Chek-Mate and his name is Marc. He would probably be keen to play with some new woods. I was at his shop (out by the airport) last weekend and he was saying that anytime I come across some good yew to let him know! If you want his contact info let me know and I'l pm it to you.

wow, Im surprised at the response I got, thanks for all the tips.
I am a sawyer at a custom cut sawmill so I can get any type of wood. I just thought this stuff was special and wanted to do something with it, seeing how I wanted to get into traditional archery I thought it would be a good fit.
