anyone have a dry yew stave 60-66" long?
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
I am looking for a dry yew stave 60-66" long. character is welcome. If it was perfect it wouldnt be any fun. I opted to buy one from the "one" dealer that pops up and I got a rather snooty response telling me I needed a premium 80" war bow stave in order to make a good bow and obviously I didnt know anything about yew bows and didnt want to work with me on showing me pics or specific sizes for smaller staves but still wanted me to send him $100 + $35 shipping.. for one without even seeing it..i dont think so......... and another person on a different site wouldnt let any go to me at all because "he didnt want to send any yew wood to a wood hacking, aspiring bower" so all the sudden I guess I dont know how to build bows...
so anyways I want just one yew stave, so i can say I have a yew bow.....but man I can't stand these persnickety yew stave guys that seem to think they are bow gods...which btw I would put one of my osage bows up against any day of the week.... sorry to rant...but these folks are aggravating me. anyone got a dry piece they would let go without giving me a speech about english royalty..blah blah blah..? lol ok seriously tho, anyone got any?

Nativenoobowyer86 was able to order himself some pretty decent yew.... i would pm him and ask him where he got his.

Twisted, I've seen your bows and I know your abilities. I think I can help you out Bro, PM sent

people are pretty stinggy when it comes to yew. if i had some that i didnt have plans for i would trade yah for some osage or something. ive never made an osage bow.
