Title: Osage stave
Post by: Tyler Langston on March 17, 2010, 10:59:00 PM
I have an osage stave that needs to go. I am willing to sell it. It is big enough to get 4 bows out of it and its been drying for 8 years.

those are some serious cracks and checks.  Would you be willing to cut the end down past the checks an inch, and then give us new pics and measurements?

I dont have a saw big enough its like 8-10 inches across. You could split on all them cracks and get 4 bows out of it

You need to post this in the classifieds under Trad archery bow making supplies.
