Osage Staves
Anyone know where I can get a good Osage stave that wont break the bank. I know where plenty of trees are but I kinda don't want the wait the year for drying before I get to try my first attempt at making a self bow. I'm sure I could just go buy a bow but there would be something special about harvesting a deer with one that I made. Plus my son is interested in making one too so it will make for some great father son time.

http://www.bellforestproducts.com/os...ange-american/ I have bought some hardwood dowels from this guy for some projects, he has about all the species of wood their is and I checked my list and he does carry Osage Orange. Mostly he sells rods and dowels but if you call him I am sure he would make you a stave to order. Here is his e-mail address http://www.dowelsondemand.com/ His prices are really good but the shipping from Medicine Hat Alberta are a little stiff. |
Thanks, I'll give him a holler. Its easy enough to come by here but I was hoping to get started on the build pretty quick. If not I may just go buy a Samick Sage and use it while I'll waiting out the drying process.

I just sold off 20. Cured and ready to chase a ring. Almost gave them away.

Let me know if ya get anymore. I still have the itch to get to making one although time has been short as of late. I still don't have any of the tools either so no hurry lol. I have plenty of trees to get one from out where I hunt. I could always snag one there if I could ever remember to take a saw with me

Heck, you live in Oklahoma, look around, you can probably find some Osage trees to cut a stave off of. Most of my staves come from Oklahoma or DFW area. I have cut a lot of them in South Oklahoma.
