Hi all. I had a fellow contact me from Australia looking for staves/info on building selfbows. I suggested that he find someone on the continent who could steer him in the right direction. Sounds like he has a group of newbies looking to build some bows and arrows. I am happy to help with the arrow part, but shipping staves across the Pacific seems rather crazy, especially if there brand new and could break them. I suggested board bows or maybe there is some good species of wood down there that is readily available. PM me if you are in Oz and would be willing to chat with this fellow, I could share his email with you. Thanks!
