I have used Polyester infusion resin for "impregnating/stabilizing wood.. I've found that I need to oven-dry the smallish pieces of wood (mostly for knife handles) for days sometimes to get rid of all moisture.
Some types of wood have natural "oils" in them, that will make it very difficult to get almost any resin to adhere properly to them. I'm not sure if Yew is one of those, but I suspect it.... In that case it may work to "wash" the wood with acetone, just before applying the resin.
"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
