I've been in search of an osage stave for quite some time now. I have not had much luck except a couple of friends tell me they might be able to get me some and then say oh they can't. I was hoping that someone in Ontario might have a stave or be able to help me find one. I'm hoping to make a Cherokee or Eastern Woodland style D-bow that is around 72" long (my arms are long). I'm also somewhat new at this and I'm not sure if I'm ready for something a large amount of "character" yet. I know it sounds like I'm getting fussy. The next sad part is because I'm new at this, I don't really have anything valuable to trade yet. In a couple of months I'll probably have an abundance of hickory staves but as of right now I don't really have anything. If someone is able to help me though in some way even if someone can suggest where I might find Osage in Ontario, pm me. Thanks to everyone.
