Title: If you build backed bows look what I have
Post by: Troy D. Breeding on April 08, 2013, 07:07:00 PM
Thought I'd throw in alittle teaser to see what everyone thought.

I'll have them listed on my thread over at the Sponsors Classified shortly.

Black Locust bow staves:

I've got twenty so far and hope to have several more by weeks end.

Bowjunkie,

Nothing right now that would make a backed bow.

If I did find osage it would be alot higher in price. The few places around here that have osage are really proud of it.

Yew is out of the question. I havn't seen yew in any of the wood shops around here.

Went through alot more wood today and the supply of staves didn't increase that much. I still have about half the stack of wood to go thru and may or maynot find that many more.

If your thinking about a new bow and the locust twicks your interest better not wait too long. The ones that were in the pic are about gone.

Check the prices over at the Sponsors Classified. I have a thread there with all my items. Admens would rather I not quote prices on here.
