KShip85:
Cedar is a fickle mistress but one which I can't get enough of.  If you've got access to pipe straight clean stuff get it.  If nothing else someone would trade you for it.  I love the stuff so much I packed a 6' log 10-11" around out of the woods on my shoulder 450 yds or so uphill to my truck, and it was by no means perfect.  I've got the sore shoulders to prove it ;). Get out and cut that wood! :)

So you have access to staves and you aren't getting them.  And you are asking people to send you staves and pay shipping?  :-\  If you don't want to work the cedar you could still get them and use them to trade for other staves.

kid bow:
 i didnt find out till after i put the post up outlaw  and i never asked someone else to pay for me.i would never do that because i dont like people doing that. i apologise if i offended you or anyone else  but i never asked i assume they where just trying to be nice. and im getting them at the end of febuary because i have a whole week off at the end of the mounth

TRACY:
Sounds like you found a good cedar stave to me. I wouldn't pass it up if you have none. ;) . Another option if shipping money isn't available, ask some of the utility or tree companies that are removing unwanted trees in your area. A lot of times you'll get black locust, elm, and hackberry saplings left for the chipper or firewood.

Man, if my son was 15 and was interested in spending his time making wooden bows I'd be bending over backwards to make sure he never ran out of wood to use. Of all the things teenagers can spend their time doing these days... Kid, just tell your dad that you want a brand new X-box 360 OR you want some help harvesting some wood to hand make your own bows. Hopefully it will be a no-brainer for him.  ;)
