Where can I get a piece of FRESH yew?

I'm looking for a piece of yew (tree) big enough to make a long bow from (4inches in diameter and 7ft long). But the wood has to be fresh (just cut). Any ideas on where I could get some? (Obviously not just 'in a forest' because that's illegal!).

Where can I get a piece of FRESH yew?
A lot of old churches have them in the graveyards, I think they were supposed to keep evil away? Anyway, perhaps you could ask the wardens/vicar etc if they have one that needs a bit of pruning, then you could take a nice bit away with you, and do something good for the tree at the same time!
