Osage for Yew
« on: November 27, 2012, 11:13:33 pm »
If anyone's interested I would like to trade stave for stave. I've never built a Yew bow and plenty of Osage. If this sound good I can post pics, I've got good straight, or snakey or some with the bark on or off. All is at least a year old

What do the ends look like?  I might be able to work something out with yew.

Here are the end cap pics. The first is tight ringed and I've been working on it . It is the 64" stave. thr other two are the 70" ones with medium, I would say :-\, I've also included a pic of middle on the staves one is wide enough that you may get two bows depending on design.
