Title: Wanted: Juniper Staves
Post by: YewArcher on May 28, 2013, 10:01:46 am: I am looking for Juniper staves to replicate Ishi's bow and gear.

Here is my offer for the trading blanket: Send me 3 juniper staves and I will make 3 Ishi's style bows. I will keep two of them and send you back one fully finished and functioning Ishi style bow (sinew backed juniper)

Let me know if you are interested.

Thx

Steve

Post by: YewArcher on May 28, 2013, 11:38:50 am: Nice talking with you as well and thank you for compliment on bows!

Looking forward to getting Frank out to do some knapping soon! I have never done it and would like to add that dimension to my replica kits. Lol...probably take me 10 years to make one point!

Post by: Newindian on May 29, 2013, 01:21:02 am: Very tempting, I would but my juniper isn't seasoned and full of knots. Plus it would require me giving up my best wood ::)

Post by: JeremiahVires on May 29, 2013, 03:37:30 pm: I have acess to ERC (same thing right?) But they are, of course, wet. I'd gladly trade you for a yew stave, >:D
Title: Re: Wanted: Juniper Staves
Post by: YewArcher on May 29, 2013, 03:52:18 pm: Wet is fine but I do not trade my yew :o

Post by: JeremiahVires on May 29, 2013, 03:59:24 pm: Gah! Here in indiana we have lots of Juniper and elm and all the fun wood. Except Yew. Agh!!! I'd probably prefer to send dried staves, due to the fact that shipping has ALOT to do with weight. I'll cut some down and in a few months if you still want juniper... I'll have some.

Post by: Gus on May 29, 2013, 05:39:53 pm: Hello YewArcher,

I have some nice ERC.
Cut and Split at least six months ago.
Would that do?

I tried sending a PM but I don't see it showing in my sent box.
So if you got several PM's from me, I apologize... :)

Gus, I do not know a lot about Juniper...I think ERC is a form of juniper or maybe te same. Regardless I will give it a go if you would lie to do swap?

Title: Re: Wanted: Juniper Staves
Post by: Newindian on May 30, 2013, 07:24:50 pm: Would you like me to cut them to a certain length before shipping
Title: Re: Wanted: Juniper Staves
Post by: YewArcher on May 30, 2013, 08:55:39 pm: Great! Cannot wait to start roughing them! I would say cut the cleanest 55" lengths, that should be plenty to work with. I will PM you address.

Post by: mikebarg on June 03, 2013, 11:13:57 am: Ashe Juniper (Juniperus ashei) is plentiful around here. I'm keeping an eye out for some land being cleared or someone that has some they need cut.
