small osage stave
fishfinder401:
looks like it would work to me, and the lateral bend shouldn't be to hard to work with, but how wet are the others, as since summer is coming i have some hot cars that could finish the drying while i work on it. so what did you want to do for a trade?
Gus:
The other staves were cut 7-4-2011.
They are running around 11%.
But now that they are split out further they should drop faster.
I think they are definitely ready to start working down to rough outs.
The other shorter stave is a fairly pretty belly split.
If you want one or two of the others I'd trim them down to your length specifications and clean them up a bit for shipping.
Out of curiosity are you trading any Black Locust?

fishfinder401:
i might be interested in one or two of the others, and hopefully i will be able to trade some, it depends on how many staves i get( meaning if i get more than 2 or so) i have not personally look at the trees closely, but there is such a large selection i hope to be able to get allot of nice staves, from what i saw, there is a row around 100yds lined with bl around 4? inches across possibly more, and the a house lot next to it he said has some monsters. he knows what i am looking for, so i am hopeful. so im guessing you wanted black locust for the trade? and if so, we should probably wait a while to trade( just in case the black locust im getting turns out to be worthless, or i don't get it at all :-\)

Hey Noel,
Ah... Mi Savy.
Well how about we work a trade for the first stave so you don't get held up with your ELB project.
I'll go ahead and work this stave down under the bug damage this weekend to make sure she's good.
I'd be up for some White Tail Base and Tine pieces suitable for knife handles.
Then we can work out a trade for some Osage for Black Locust at a later date.
I'm easy man, really no worries. :)
