Default RE: Wood Choices

Sorry, Gary comes to our club every year for our big Primitive Shoot. He is a well know self-bowyer. He brings a bunch of osage staves with himand all the equipment and knowledge needed to build a self bow. I think he charges around $100 for the stave. Use of the equipment and his knowledge is free.You even make a flemish twist string (my son did very well on that). Be warned though, depending of how much work the stave needs, it could take anywhere between 6 and 12 hours to build one.

If you go a good idea is to give Gary a call and let him know what you are looking for. He may pick out a stave for you.

My son and I built one last year for my son. It turned out very well.

This year is my turn if Gary can make it here.
