I have a 73" long stave that has a 4" deflex in one half and it will have some snake or big knots depending on how u lay it out. It is on one growth ring already. Seasoned for four years. I just don't have the time to be messing with it. It is sawn when I didn't know how to split. I layed a bow out on it and all 73" fit. It has a slight twist. Pm me if interested. I am looking for hickory, osage, black locust, ocean spray, ipe and bamboo slats, beaver tail, elk leather, and elk or deer tanned hide with hair on, snake skins to back bows, and rawhide. Make an offer and don't be offended if I turn it down. Thanks
