It looks a thousand times better than a vise. I think this will become a very common tool for bow makers in the near future. Who wouldnt want one?

Oops. My apologies. I was thinking bow press. Stave press looks like it would work well. I've never tried it. Jawge

Looks like neat tool and the best of luck. Just sorta defeats the purpose of building self bows for me though. It might take away all of my excuses for not producing the perfect bow ;D

I saw it at the Classic and it seams to be built like a crow-bar. Easy to use to boot.

Hey Destructo... Sorry I missed you at the Tenn. Classic Wash Out. I was there 3 days.
I will have a booth at Cloverdale- come use the StavePress for a while. Ill have all the tools and some staves handy.

I just watched the video and that is a cool looking device. Well thought out and it looks pretty tough. Wonder if anyone will have one set up at MOJAM...?

Hey, guys, I had the booth next to Jon at the Tennessee Classic, and I can assure you that the stave press is everything Jon says it is.  I agree that it is a little pricey, but the thing is so strong and adaptable, that if you work with staves all the time, it would be a great investment.  Jon is a super-nice guy who helped me pack up before the storm hit in Clarksville, so I thought I would give him a plug.

Hi Dirty Dan!

You forgot to tell the folks that YOU helped ME set up when I arrived....  you also traded me a bigger tarp for the upcoming rains.
You're actually not so dirty after all.

Thanks for the StavePress comments.

Thanks for all the responses guys.  I think, if I can spare the cash, I just might get one.
