PM right back at cha briar.  ;)

Brock:
Thanks for PM...I am intersted in one.  I want to use it to build my first osage flatbow...I have 29" draw so would likely want to get 66" when finished at least.  I am about 75% through a hickory stave so a true novice with no local mentor so it is all reading so far in TBB.

If yours are too advanced for me then dont worry...I will get a few more hickory or ash staves and keep learning. :)

None of these are novice staves. I really can't recommend you take any of these staves on as a beginner. I did send you a PM. If you still want one, I can hook you up, but please get a good 10 or so bows under your belt before you dig into it, as it would be a waste to make all the beginners mistakes we make when we are first starting out on some high quality bow wood like osage. Where I live maybe only 1 out of 10, if that, osage trees are usable as bow wood, just cause of knots and twist and not growing straight and stuff, where as red oak boards are at your nearest home depot, so I would think it is more reasonable to learn on something like that. Saplings are great to learn on too. You can go almost in anyone's back yard or camping ground and find a good sapling of bow worthy wood.
