Kidbow,  I'd love to help, but I'm a long ways away.   Most of the folks here are pretty generous, but you'd be looked on a lot more kindly if you offered something in trade.   Where in Kentucky are you?  I suspect there's a good, cuttable tree somewhere within a mile of your home... you just need to have someone help you find it.    Ron

i know people here i have just not met anyone one in person. and the forests near me are off limits or i can get in some serious trouble. and i would trade something if i had anything. i have some cattails near me to make small game arrows and i can make target mats out of cattail for target practice

Do you have the few tools and area to work a stave bow?

Thanks Pat.  I was just concerned about his statement about the woods near him being off limits and he would get in big trouble.  If I knew it was ok with his parents for him to get the wood, I will send you the shipping cost to get it to him.  Still have some concern.  But if you want to ship it, give me the cost and I will send you a MO to cover it.  How is that?
