Rock maple stave wanted
« on: October 06, 2012, 08:58:05 am »
Rock maple stave wanted.For at least a 62" bow.I have straight clean hedge,pignut hickory,black locust all 68" to 75" long,multiple buffalo backstrap sinew 25",multiple elk leg sinew 14",some smoked brain tan 4' to 6' sq. pieces,1 pair yearling deer rawhide strip 2"X36" for trade plus other odds and ends.Ask JonW about the rawhide.
I have an Amish saw mill nearby too but this sugar or rock maple is not growing wild here in central southern Iowa very often but does come into the mill occasionally and will keep checking them.It's in towns as ornament shade trees and is'nt available that often unless a storm takes one out or something.
Would prefer to drive for it if close enough.Maybe one of you guys in Iowa or a next door state has a good one.
