Yew logs are logs obtained from cutting yew trees, which require at least level 60 Woodcutting for players to cut. They give 175 experience when cut with an axe. Players can burn these logs with the Firemaking skill at level 60, granting 202.5 Firemaking experience.
Yew logs can also be made into bows, stock, and arrow shafts using the Fletching skill. When the log is cut into a yew longbow (u) at level 70, it yields 75 experience. Cutting a yew shortbow (u) at level 65 will give 67.5 experience. Stringing the unstrung bows will give the same experience as for cutting them.
One full inventory of yew logs gives 4,900 Woodcutting experience. Players would need to cut 72,919 yew logs to go from 60 to 99 Woodcutting.
Yew logs can also be used to travel to Castle Wars on the Balloon transport system, costing 10 logs on the initial trip, and 1 log for every trip following that.
6 yew logs can be used to light an Abyssal lantern, requiring 60 Firemaking.
