I have 2 staves and then the billets I was talking about earlier.

68" long. I started a bow from this but lost my muse. I prefer to use a board bow method. It is split from a stage I got from Auggie a while back. I'm not positive there is a bow in there but I think so. Will need some heat bending and straightening.
Here is the other side of that stave:

Also I milled up a log into 1/4 sawn lumber. It isn't perfectly sawn. I got some waver but I got a pretty good yield. here is the pile:

it is surrounded by my carving stock. They look mostly like this:

I'll prep them for "V" slices like below. Then you just need to glue them. I have enough for possibly 8 bows and some small kids bows. they are 5/8" to 3/4" thick and I'll pair them up. Just tell me a bit about the kind of bow you want to make. BTW I've even used this joint for bendy handle bows with TB@ and it's holding.

I'm looking for a kid quiver, some kind of fluffy hide to trim the end of my bamboo quiver and quiet the arrows from rattling, a clovis/dalton spear point for wall hanging (may be in progress). Or leather to make a quiver and arm guard for my little one.

I go the above pics all out of order hopefully you get the idea :-[.
I also have this trilam bendy handle recurve I started and lost my muse on. bamboo backed bamboo and ipe.

It is going to be a heavy shooter.
-
What's the dimensions of the bamboo backed ipe? Length, width, approximate draw length?
I can make a kid quiver for you out of wool as trade.

It is a stave. Right now it's a club but the core is thicker than I prefer so I'm going to guess that 60+ would be possible.
it is 64" long and the widest part is 1 1/8" wide. Also the core is not bamboo it is hickory or maple. I'm having a hard time telling. I went through a period when I was hot for mimicking Yew with maple and Ipe.

Okay, that sounds too heavy for my tastes, at that length.
-
I don't see why it couldn't be less either.

what are you looking to trade for
