Trying to limit myself to a few types of wood these days:  Juniper (80%), Osage (15%), and Red Oak (5%).

I'm going to try to find good homes for all the other staves I have...

I like the photos of your Place and your Stave Stash Druid!  :)

Mr. Crafty, what kind of staves are you trying to let go of?

I've got some elm, hickory, and hackberry.  Maybe one piece each of white oak, black locust, and a few others.  I can do an inventory...shoot me a PM if interested.

not enough :-(

when it comes to bow wood-enough is never enough...


already seasoned and ready to go-a few osage, and some hickory
waiting till seasoned-pile of osage, some white ash and oak
only been at this a cupla yrs,
but start getting a bit anxious if there is only one or two seasoned osage staves in the shop.
and find myself thinking of trade goods when i'm at waynes or kirks looking at their piles of yella wood.
fortunately they are both good buds, and always willing to trade

same with arrow wood/cane, as pat mentioned. thats a continuous quest as well.
can hardly keep my eyes on the road when out in the countryside.
and frustrate one of my friends to no end as when we go hiking,
always on the lookout for arrow and bow wood....feathers, bones, antlers, herbs/edibles,  etc etc
wild women don't get the blues

None :( its all been made into bows or is packed up ready to move. I did keep out a nice Laburnum stave to work on, you know just in case I started suffering from withdrawl. Plus moving always means opportunity for more wood, well in my book anyways!

Tried to send you a PM Mr. Crafty.

But your in box is full.

I'd be interested in Black Locust.
Also on the hunt for Live Oak if you had some hiding in your stash.
White Oak and or Hackberry hold some interest for me as well.

What would you be interested in trade goods?

I do leather work.
Have some uncut turkey feathers.
I'm currently in High Gear on Sinew collecting, White Tail deer, both leg and back sinew.
Have some wood I'd trade as well but most of my stash is six months old or less.

Regards,
