A good friend is involved in some kind of project and needs 8 bamboo backed osage staves.
What are some good sources and good prices?

Good Osage Stave Billets go for $40.00 plus $10.00 shipping for two 36 inch pieces that need Z spliced together. Or about $70.00 plus $20.00 shipping for a one piece belly slat. The boo is about $20.00 plus $15.00 shipping. The gluing of the two together is another venture. Would he want deflex/reflex, would he want a handle glued on? It will need a riser glued on to be a bow. There are sponsors on here that sell what is needed, Charlie. Some sponsors sell BBO blanks, I think they are $150.00 or $200.00, maybe more. Roy
