I finally made it home. There was a long box wih my name on it waiting patiently for me. Insde i found 12 cane arrow shafts all straightened and splined at 50 to 55 lbs. And a very nice looking stave which i think is osage but am not positive because I have never seen any osage before. I know with the tight woodgrain that it will produce a killer bow. Not sure who sent it, the name on the package says Reynolds from Elizabethtown, Ky. Thanks so very much I can't wait to get busy with the bow and arrows.
