Wanted: Juniper Staves
« on: May 28, 2013, 10:01:46 am »
I am looking for Juniper staves to replicate Ishi's bow and gear.

Here is my offer for the trading blanket: Send me 3 juniper staves and I will make 3 Ishi's style bows. I will keep two of them and send you back one fully finished and functioning Ishi style bow (sinew backed juniper)

Let me know if you are interested.

Thx

Steve

His bows are top shelf, top notch replicas and very functionable. If I had juniper at th eready I would be on it. Nice talking with yew this weekend Steve!

Nice talking with you as well and thank you for compliment on bows!

Looking forward to getting Frank out to do some knapping soon! I have never done it and would like to add that dimension to my replica kits. Lol...probably take me 10 years to make one point!

Very tempting, I would but my juniper isn't seasoned and full of knots. Plus it would require me giving up my best wood  ::)

I have acess to ERC (same thing right?)  But they are, of course, wet.  I'd gladly trade you for a yew stave, >:D

Gah!  Here in indiana we have lots of Juniper and elm and all the fun wood.  Except Yew.  Agh!!!  I'd probably prefer to send dried staves, due to the fact that shipping has ALOT to do with weight.  I'll cut some down and in a few months if you still want juniper...  I'll have some.

Hello YewArcher,

I have some nice ERC.
Cut and Split at least six months ago.
Would that do?

I tried sending a PM but I don't see it showing in my sent box.
So if you got several PM's from me, I apologize...  :)

Jeremiah the trade will be good whenever u are ready toto it.

Gus, I do not know a lot about Juniper...I think ERC is a form of juniper or maybe te same. Regardless I will give it a go if you would lie to do swap?
