Any interest in fresh cut hackberry staves?
« on: January 30, 2011, 07:13:30 pm »
I have some fresh cut hackberry staves, if there is interest in them I'll take some pics. I'll be looking for primitive shafting in the 50# range, stone points, turkey feathers, or snake skins. Staves are 80'' long some can be split in two, bark still on as I just cut today. I will seal the ends tonight and remove bark if you wish. Would like to move 6 staves, keeping 3. If there is a lot of interest I can cut more, we have alot of hack around here.

 I'm interested for sure. Let me know how many you would need and save some shipping cost and cut them down to at least 70".

Sweet stuff, man.  I love working with hackberry and have had great results with the wood.  The color and the grain is so sweet to me that I have yet to lay stain on any I have made.

JW, don't stain mine either, just a little heat to bring the grain out, and hackberry makes a nice shooting bow.
