dry/cured bow staves wanted
« on: June 23, 2011, 05:04:34 pm »
Howdy folks, I'm looking for a stave...something other than Osage and I am looking for one that is dry/cured.  I have Osage that was cut in Feb. and am willing to trade 2 Osage staves for a decent bow stave.  Would like to try something like Hackberry, Mulberry, HopHornbeam, etc.  Drop me a PM if you are interested and I can shoot a pic or two of an Osage stave that may meet you needs.  Many thanks~

I have some clean hackberry I would trade Lee. Are you coming to Grayling this weekend? I can bring it.

I'll be at the MTB Jamboree in Grayling this evening.  Hit me up.  I can reserve you a very nice hickory stave and I have lots of seasoned ash to play with.  Swing on by!

Hey guys, I wish like heck I could make it up there this weekend,  I have friends and family in town this weekend so I'll have to make it next year  :-\

If both of you care to hold onto those staves I'll figure out a way to get you some osage and take the Hack, Hick and Ash off your hands.

Thanks all, I should be all set now.

Sounds good, Lee.  Don't know if I'll be able to hang onto the hickory since I only have a couple pieces of that, but I know I'll have more ash.  Maybe I can trade straight up some ash for hackberry.  I've been wanting to try that.

I have plenty of hackberry. I will reserve a nice, clean one just for you Lee. Just tell me when you want it. Maybe we could meet up the first of August in Elm Hall.
