Like Mark said, you have the best wood around. Yew. I am in the process of trying to exchange some osage, Hackberry, and deer sinew with a gay from B.C. for yew. The shipping is still going to cost an arm and a leg.
Just go out and cut some yew, seal it, and within a year you will have the best staves you can get.
