Stave sources drying up
JW_Halverson:
Between shipping getting so expensive and my stave sources drying up, I have kinda run out of osage sources. I found one guy on Facebook, but he's asking $190 a stick and that's for run-of-the-mill stuff, nothing special!!!
It is at the point that I am looking for someone that has a large stock and I'll drive to get it! I figger that if I drive somewhere with this new KIA that gets pretty good gas mileage, I will come out well ahead of the game buying a dozen or more staves.
Anyone got a stack they wanna sell or know of someone?

I really miss the primitive archery meet in Michigan for so many things I bought and traded for. Shipping is so expensive for stuff like staves and rock. I learned after my first meet. Take any fun money I could scrape together. Fill the tank with gas when I get there so I have enough to get home . And spend the rest.
It’s so much nicer to see what you are getting. To talk with the people. Become life long friends. It’s the best way I know of to buy or trade for stuff I can’t find myself.
JW I don’t really have any Osage I d be willing to give up, but if you want to drive the KIA here I can hook you up with some pretty nice HHB

I would love to visit a hedge post company somewhere, but the one in Kansas is over a thousand miles away from me. I sure hope its owner to get interested in wooden bow making or to go into bow stave business.

Driving to Mojam would be your best bet for picking up a lot of staves, of course you will have to wait until next year now.

Yep, plenty of hedge at Mojam... there's also Ojam in March down in Oklahoma.
