Alberta Bowyers
« on: June 10, 2014, 01:47:18 am »
Hello,

I have been trying to find a place to get a stave in Calgary with no luck. Anyone from around here know of a source?

Thanks in advance,

Iben Jaqinov.

Hahaha too funny. I actually contacted him via email to see if he knew anyone in Calgary who could help. I'm sad to see his thread is empty  :(

Glad to see you registered an account Jordan.  Sad to see there's been no reply to my thread.

As I said in one of my e-mails, there was a young man in Calgary that frequented here many years ago, I can't remember his name.  I do remember that he was a member of the SCA though so maybe you could check them out to see if he is still with them.

Any reason why you can't go out and just have a look along a road allowance for an Ash ?
