small osage stave

<< < (2/4) > >>

Gus:
Hey Fishfinder,

I have a couple of Candidate Staves I pulled out today.
Gonna reduce them down a bit tomorrow to make sure they would fit the bill.
And reduce potential shipping costs.
Once I get them sized close I'll send you some photos to see what you think.

fishfinder401:
sounds good, do you want me to take some pics of the antler i have?

Gus:
what kinda antler is it?

fishfinder401:
white tail, all i wanted from the antlers was the tips, so there is a few possible good knife handles or knapping tools in then

Gus:
Hi Fishfinder,

Sorry for the delay.

After going over my current batch of Osage I think I only have one piece seasoned that might fit your needs.
Its 66" long x 1.75" x 1.75.

It does however have some issues.
Its got about 3 to 4 inches of Lateral bend that would need to come out and a little bug damage on one end.
However if you're okay with the lateral bend, I'd be willing to work it down under the bug damage to a clean ring before we work a trade.

Unfortunately even though the rest has been drying split for nearly a year I think it's still a little wet yet.
I'm sorry, I thought it was closer to dry than it is.

Here are the pics, the stave on the far right is the workable one.





Let me know your thoughts.
