A friend on Trad Gang posted that an old friend of his has some 6 year old straight grain shag bark hickory he wants to get rid of. He doesn't want to ship them but he would deliver them to Kirk Lavender of Big Foot Bows in Mulino,Oregon. (bigfootbows@gmail.com)
Here is the message Kirk put on Trad Gang...
I had a self bowyer i met many years ago at a long bow safari contact me saying that he has a bunch of shag bark hickory staves he'd like to find a home for. They were harvested in Missouri about 6 years ago and are very high quality straight grained staves.
If anyone is interested in having some these to build bows from, please let me know. He said he would drop a bunch off at my shop in the future. I have no idea what the value of these is. i never asked him what he wanted for them. But he doesn't want to mess with shipping. Said he'd bring me a truck load if i can find bowyers that want them.
