Title: ISO dry staves
Post by: David Ewing on January 04, 2016, 05:02:35 pm

Hey everyone! New to the forum... I have been a "lurker" for a few months, and I finally registered...  LOTS of good info on here!

I am pretty new to bow building. I have completed one so far. The second one I was building blew up during tillering. I had way to much thickness for the length... 

Anywho...  I am looking for a stave or two. I would really like DRY Osage, but I am open to anything really.  I make game calls, (duck, deer, predator, etc) and would be willing to trade a couple of them for a stave or two... 

Thank you!!
David

I hope when you said "Throw a few pictures up of your work", you meant of my calls.. I don't have the picture of my bow. Lol

These are both Duck calls by the way.

This one is Osage.

There is a fella in Yukon that has Osage staves. Look on Tradrag.com. His name is Jerry Stover but for the life of me I cant remember the name of his business.
