Holy forgotten staves!!!
« on: April 14, 2014, 11:18:36 am »
I was down visiting my parents with the whole family and my dad mentioned that I had a bunch of bow staves in the garage rafters that I had put there and wondered if I still wanted them.   I forgot that I had put them there (almost 20 years ago).  Anyway, there were 7 Hackberry staves and a dozen Hickory staves.  Looking them over, a few were a bit knotty and ugly, but a number were really nice.  Even the ugly ones should get a short bow or be fodder for my desire to build a crossbow.  Hmmm...  I can't believe I forgot about this little treasure, buried away!   :o

Ya think he will let you hang 'em up there a little longer until they are done curing out?   >:D 

 A little longer won't hurt 'em and you can call 'em Legacy Staves when you hand 'em off to your grandkids!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
