Wanted: Sharply reflexed in the handle osage.
« on: February 11, 2016, 07:47:11 pm »
I am looking for some staves, no big hurry, but if you run across some and dont want em keep me in mind please. Ring count doesnt matter to me and I dont need them long, 52" or more is fine.  The sharper the reflex the better, almost like a kink in the handle like the letter V.

How wide? I have some plum saplings like that but they'e pretty gnarly and high crowned.

I'll give em to you if they'll work.

You could splice some thick billets and off set them quite a bit.

Or, steam.

If you have room will you bring them with you? I could pick them up then. What would you like in trade?

Yeah I'll bring em with me. If they work for you I'd take whatever you offer, could always use arrow shafts though.
