Title: I really need staves!
Post by: twilightandmist on February 12, 2013, 01:06:48 am

As the title explains, i really need staves. I am running dangerously low on staves, i am down to four :( i am willing to make a good trade. i deal mostly in trade points of all sizes and weights, knives, and wax. i have just about anything you can imagine within those parameters, so if there is something you are interested in, please PM me. I am interested in just about any bow wood i can get, so please tell me what you have. thank you!

What kind of steel?

all high carbon, but from varying sources depending on the product and application. most of my trade points are salvaged sawmill steel, whereas many of my knives are spring steel from varying sources, and my kitchen knives are circular saw steel. i also make knives out of very old nicholson and simonds rasps and files, which are some of the best performing steels on the market.

I have several stages from Hop Hornbeam. I cut them last year. Some I split and others are whole. All have bark on them. After cutting, I dipped both ends of everything in polyp to seal them. They have been drying for 10 months. No checking to speak of. Also a couple of white ash stages.
