hit the trade page up, you should have something you can trade,

if he wants to buy one that's a great place, never bought a stave but everything else I got from there was great and came fast

one thing you might try is ask around about folks selling hedge fence posts.
today on the side of the road I bought a 10' osage 8" dia. , NICE piece a wood! for $12 and just split five 6' staves from it.
woods gotta be happier as bows instead of ol' H braces studded with fence staples :)

If you can't trade for one here (best option) then also check out osagejack here on PA. Mike cuts Osage for a living.

Wanting to piggy back on this post since I'm similarly looking for somewhere to buy staves in Northern Nevada (Tahoe area) Wanting to find some pre-seasoned staves.
