Google is your friend...find a local lumber store or mill...but better yet first go take a drive out to some farm country with osage hedgerows and ask permission to cut some...and while your osage seasons go get your hickory and maple boards to play with and get you ready for some real wood...lol ;)

I wish you would have posted this last night.  I'm heading that way and could have brought you some seasoned staves.  Next time I'm at home and going to be headed that way, I will PM you, if you're interested.  I have lots of walnut, white mulberry, red elm, and Osage just to name a few.  They are staves not boards though.    Josh

I was just to metro hardwoods in Independence last week.  They had a good selection of various boards that would work.

Remember the 3 most important things in a board destined to be a bow. Grain, grain and grain. Jawge
