Aaah... and the debate rages on! If I HAD to pick only one... it would be osage. Narrow and deep, wide and flat, short long, heavy, light... the King does it all. And it looks good doing it!

Thanks to all who have taken the time to respond. I am curious about vine maple. Is it a "white wood"  similar to the maples that grow to larger sizes? I gather that is is fairly common in its range, and can find info on the tree, but not about the wood.

Can anyone recommend a source for staves?
