bareshaft12 yours is on the way... we saved our very favorites for the last...

ok really I am just being super meticulous so forgive me for the delay... oh plus I am playing American Idol fantasy league (a super hysterical game) and i had to get my picks in and am watching and p.m.ing and trying NOT to make any mistakes!
i already caught one... no one drew Elktracker...   I checked and rechecked and got tired and went to bed... Oh well..I'm sure he'll be fine with hit.

Thanks to Marie and Josh for all their help...and Josh your work might not be over yet.  ::)
I haven't shifted into PA Bow Trade mode yet so I haven't picked a stave. I just sent a bow off for a TradGang Bow Trade and I need a few days to get over the loss.  :'(

Went out to pick out my bow wood today.....ran across a nice Ironwood stave. I dont use staves but thought if anybody in the trade could use this they'd be welcome to it....free

It's allready dried and cured, bark and cambium are gone....it's sawed flat on both sides and what would be the belly. It's 79" long right now about 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 wide across the back and probably 2" thick back to belly. Been air dried 3 years in a closed wood shed no checks or cracks....hard enough it rings when ya whack it.

anyways, let me know if ya can use it, eh?

I agree that is a very generous offer for someone who is in the trade and doesnt have dry seasoned wood ;D Just out of curiosity what type of Iron wood is it?
