White ash or white oak stave wanted(Knife blank pics added)
« on: April 09, 2012, 08:47:41 am »
  I am looking for a straight and clean white ash or white oak stave preferably 68 to 72 inches long.  If you happen to have one, PM me to discuss details.  Thanks

I don't have any real clean white oak, but I will be getting some Oregon ash (similar traits to white ash), this week.  I am helping my grandpa cut up a nice ash he fell last weekend.  Let me know if you are still looking for a good stave, and I will let you know if I get some long clean ones out of it.  Do you still have lots of sinew?

 I don't have any sinew, but, I have a few knife blanks, an end piece of water buffalo horn, some bamboo backing strips(2 total), 2 board pieces of yellowheart(59 inches long by approximately 2 inches wide and over an inch thick) and two osage board pieces(approximately 36 inches long a piece by a little over 2 inches wide and a bit over 3/4 inches thick). I also have 5 pieces of bloodwood that are 58 inches long each and between 1 3/8 to 1.5 inches wide.
