osage board bows: 2 at once
El Destructo:
I can cut Hedge all day long...but even Pappy or Keenan wouldn't want any of it....there isn't a piece of Hedge in the Panhandle that is worthy of a Bow....if it isn't windblown into so much tension....it has rings about as thick as a Sheet of Paper....but it burns good!!! I get my Hedge from Laverne in Kansas
radius:
who is Laverne? And may I ask: how much are you paying?
El Destructo:
He is a Stave Seller in Kansas...and it all depends on what kind of Stave you need....I normally only pay like 35-40 dollars for one + shipping

Pat B:
So you think it's a good idea to tiller the bow with the objective of an even curve when reflexing it? That's what I'm doing now...the back of the stave is rough sawn, and so I'm cleaning it up as part of the tillering process...I guess that's one of the advantages of working with boards.
grantmac:
So you got the Rona boo? Excellent, any more pieces left that are suitable? Also how long were they total? I'll take all the 28" sections you don't want, I have plans for little pieces.
Cheers,
Grant
