Title: need some osage staves
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on January 29, 2011, 07:35:16 pm

I need a few osage staves  maybe interested in a black locust or black walnut too.  i need them 60-66" long and a little character is good as long as there isnt a huge amount of prop twist or anything... you know, just decent bowstaves.
   i have a bunch of bamboo backing strips, not perfect pieces, but they work fine, they are not planed yet.  if you want to trade a few staves let me know how many bamboo strips you would like in trade and perhaps we could work out a deal  or just send me a pm.  thanks- Ryan

The only borer free osage I have is green. I'm assuming you want seasoned wood?  I might could pull out some seasoned big quarters and split out a couple sisters off the bottom that would be borer free.  I really need some bamboo backing for an ipe laminate.  Would you consider a stave I reduced to a growth ring, removing all the borers?
