Title: Elm Staves Wanted(pics added)
Post by: NTD on September 04, 2010, 08:56:50 pm

I am looking for 2 elm staves.  64-66" long at least 2 inches wide.  Preferably cured.  Clear and straight would be good too ;D

I have some Gopher snakes and a couple WDB rattles I will be skinning up tonight.  Will post pics soon.

Been good, busy weekend.  Thanks for the vote :)  Thanks for letting me know about the elm stave.  I worry about curing any wood here as I don't have a good place to store it and our humidity is so darn low here that I would really be nervous about checks and stuff. 

I know what you mean about the rattlers but I also get some not so common rattlers sometimes, Mojaves, sidewinders, and the occasional blacktail rattlesnake.  Also I really like the gopher skins, they are probably one of my favorites.  As far as exotics I WILL get more but they are inconsistant.  I'm attending a reptile trade show at the end of the month and hope to put the word out to a few more snake breeders.
I'll keep you in mind when I get more ;D

If it helps you Nate, I'll offer up 1 or both of the skins I traded you for in exchange for these.
