Thanks guys.  Dictionary, I thought Kid's staves were pretty self explanatory.  It is a stave for a kids bow.  Is there a joke I am missing? 

POC grows on the southern Oregon coast, several hours from where I live.  I might make a trip down there someday for arrow wood.  It is an absolutely georgeous part of the world. 

Keenan, well I am actually up to something.  I have started a small archery business.  Echo Archery (EchoArchery.com)  I am still working on the website, so there are some obvious problems with it, but any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.  And yes, I am now a paid advertiser in PA mag, so I can post the direct link.

Great minds. I do the same.

Bryce, I passed on the cascara this time.  There just wasn't much.  I have another spot that abounds with cascara. 

Aaron, on the ocean spray, I used two coats of PVA (aka Elmers school glue) on the ends the day I got them home, and then coated the entire stave with some waterborne polyurethane this morning.  I need to make it up that way.  I haven't been to the coast in a long time.  A nice thing about claming is there is aren't any trees around to compete for your attention.

I like the heartwood of cascara. Smells like peaches and makes a better bow

Yes there is.

Looks like you also got a few Scotchbroom staves in that bunch in the second pic. I recognize the green bark and the chocolate heartwood.

randman, there are a couple scotch brrom pieces in there too.  Good eye.  One longer one, possibly a bow in there, the other were large diameter but short. Thinking tool handles for those.

My grandmother would give me one dried cascara berry if my stomach hurt........end result... Not pretty. But I did feel better:)

Nah i was asking because i thought you chose your staves based on their size or something for kids bows. Like smaller size peices of wood can only make kids bows or something.

Great haul. Ya got the right wood. Now time to show all those osage users what OS can do
