Looking for a straight stave!

[Stalkingfox]

I think itll be neat with the knot in it! It might pop out!.

I've acquired quite a bit of seasoned wood since I've not had time to do much building lately.  I've got a lot of hackberry in various sizes/conditions.  Some of it is split and debarked with a natural camo on it.  Some has bark intact.  I think I've got some HHB around too and also maybe hickory, but those pieces might need reduced a little before sending.  Also have red oak, walnut, white oak, and maybe some others.  I can get a couple pics of my cache if you're interested.

Stalkingfox,  that looks like the hackberry growing on the creek bank all over my place. Moss is a little lighter on the ones I've been looking at but definitely looks similar. Wood color and grain look right too.

One of my early Spring projects is to cut and split a few of the straighter ones for staves.

Ship, I might be interested in some of the hackberry with the bark off if you have any pics.

Ifrit what would you do with the bark?

[Ifrit617]

Whoops. Stupid auto correct on my phone. I ment to say ''bark off"

[Stalkingfox]

Lol Auto correct wins again.

Ok, took some shots of some debarked hackberries I have laying around and also a decent piece of white oak with bark still on.

First the hackberries:














This is a spot in the middle of the back where some of it looks to be violated but should be fine as long as the handle is there.







Heres the second alongside the first.  Its quite a lot larger and might yield 2 bows or more if it splits well for ya.

And finally here's the white oak piece.










Let me know if and what you're interested in.  I can check some other lumber if you're looking for something else.
