Title: Surprise package
Post by: Aaron1726 on October 18, 2024, 10:02:39 pm

Got a surprise package the other day with a couple yew staves, a vine maple stave and an ocean spray stave.  Steve, your generosity has me speechless! 

Can't say it enough how great I've found this community to be.  These are all woods I'd likely never have worked with otherwise.

Thanks again Steve!

I agree Aaron, great bunch of people here. I’ve been gifted on here too. Generous with their stuff and their knowledge. And that’s a nice little stash of staves. Yew makes a great bow. I use steam for bending it myself. Also don’t forget that yew wood is toxic so wearing a respirator is advisable.
Good luck

I also agree, had more stuff gifted to me over the years than I could right down on this forum, great bunch of folks here for sure. :) Nice looking staves by the way. :)
