Kind of nasty......but doable I guess...
« on: March 27, 2012, 08:43:15 pm »
I was thinking it could be fun to post some staves that you have in your possesion that are nasty as ever, but quite doable. You know the ones you wouldnt dare peel and seal while your significant other was around. Here is a stave my good buddy Marty gave me. Keep in mind a wise man wouldnt give away a stave of this calibur to just anybody on the streets. Needless to say it has super rings to boot...I am in his debt forever :laugh:.......and it will be a bow one day when my wife goes away for a bit!

When I seen this thread title, I have to admit bow staves weren't the first thing that popped into my head. >:D :-X. But since we're talking staves,  I got a peach of a stave from Sadie a while back.  I think it was the first hedge post to ever hold wire up.  If you shoot your mouth off about liking a challenge to Sadie, you better be prepared to back it up! ;) ;D. Thanks Sadie!  I've already started on it.  I think it might just work.  Josh

lol! Pearl I wouldn't call that stave that nasty. I guess I have always had some pretty low standards though,  LOL. I got a mulberry that is like a sister stave to that one almost, it is special though. It came from a tree that had some kind of decease or something that caused it to have no sapwood at all, just heartwood. When I cut it I was like "nice".  :laugh:

  Those are the type of staves I never seem to get around to finishing, I get them cleaned up, roughed out and then every once in a while I will pull one out and work the tiller or start straightening, then back in the box for a couple more years.
