brian melton:
I am not buddies with (dave) from medicine bows, but do know of him.......I use to sell other bow woods to him yrs ago. So I must know what was wrong with the stave(s) I have lots of billets that I have sold in the past, but I am always nervous of selling yew because of peoples expectations.  Moderators I am talking about past sales long ago, in no way is this intended to be a advertisement in any way. I raise this question because of the the general belief that yew must be a certain ring count sap to heart wood amount.......or any other expectation of the wood.

Michael C.:
Well if you have any questions about the stave I had you can ask Mullet and get his opinion. I'm sure he has sold some good staves in his time, I just personally wouldn't deal with him because of the way he treated me. Someone asked for an opinion and I gave it, so take it for what it's worth.

brian melton:


    I talk to Eddie all the time over the phone, and we have done tons of trading. I was trying to get a feel for expectations of "quality" of wood to $.

mullet:
  Brian and I talked, I told him what it looked like and it was too much time and trouble to me. I gave it to Pappy.
