I have plenty of yew. I would be willing to "trade" you a stave or two, but shipping full length staves from Europe to the States is ridiculously expensive.

Hello, I'm looking for a quality stave around 80" long, something capable of 100 at 32. I'm really just curious at the moment, and am not sure when I could buy. I really don't have anything to trade buy money.

Direct quote from his website:
 

 Notice: Until further notice we are no longer offering bow staves for sale.  This is due to the demand for bow staves for custom order bows and for bow-making classes.  That said, it doesnt hurt to call and check on availability.

Hi All,

I have a Yew tree felled and need help getting it out of the woods. I would be willing ot split some of the wood with whoever can help me out. Just send me a message to your availablitity. I have it cut into 8 foot sections, but the base of the tree weighs a ton. It is in a fairly rugged location about a 1/4 mile off the dirt track.

I buy all my yew from medicine bow woods ... dave is a really nice guy. He always throws in some free stuff too :) and echo archery is my osage guy ... carsons the bomb . Everything else i collect myself . Forget bout ebay . You can also trade fpr staves on here ... the good thing about that is your getting your wood from good bowyers who know a good stave ... dave and carson are good bowyers as well . Im not saying dont go else where but these are my go to guys ....dave only sells yew and vinemaple ... but carson at echo he sells all kinds of stuff . Yew included .

Wizardgoat, I live in Portland, but the tree is outside Scio. not far from the old Larwood covered bridge. I'm going out there next weekend the 11th. Or maybe the 18th if I don't get enough help.

If your interested email me at bryandmack@gmail.com

thanks
