I picked up 6 Osage Staves
One, 1" thick x 5-1/2" wide x 9' 3" long Blonde Ipe Board I cut into three 37" Blanks, Not vertical grain but James Parker said it was just as good so I got it cheep.
Some burl pieces Jim Hammer gave to me
One pair of Sturgeon fish skins for the Snakey Stave in the middle
6 T Shirts

Very nice stuff there, Mark..
Osage staves are getting high, so I got them before they get higher.
I have about 10 or so now.
Nice haul, Mark. Who did you get the osage from? Clint?
Clint said he was no longer selling Staves.
Jim Hammer
Nice... Looks like you got some stuff to keep you busy a while...
The price is getting to high, I have 10/11 staves (inventory) now for 5/6 years.
I forgot, James gave me 2 pieces of Buffalo horn for tip overlays and riser overlays.
one edge is 1/2" thick :thumbsup:
