small osage stave

(1/4) > >>

fishfinder401:
i was wondering if anyone has a small seasoned osage stave they would like to trade for a piece of antler that could be used for flint knapping or a knife handle, if would be for a 9 year old who's father is going to be letting me have a good amount of black locust from his farm, so i wanted to give him something back, as his son is getting into archery
i have  few different pieces i could trade and ill try to get some pics up later,
thanks
noel

Hey Fishfinder,

What Length and Width stave are you looking for?

fishfinder401:
im not exactly sure... its for a 9yo and i want to make it with some growing room, im planning on a elb type so it doesn't need to be that wide, as far as length what do you think would be good

Gus:
Hmmm...

I'm guessing you'd probably want it to pull out to 23-25"...
So you'd want at least a 60" stave by 1.5" to 2" in width and thickness?

Leme look in my wood rack this afternoon.
I should have some Osage to fit that requirement.
