John — While you’re waiting for a response from Clay, and maybe others here, go google “osage bow staves for sale” and you’ll get a bunch of sources, with prices all over the map. Comparing their offers is a good place to start. Shipping is a significant cost factor and often you can get multiple staves shipped for little more than the price of one. Since a majority, if not all beginning selfbow makers “over tiller” and come out with low-poundage kids bows the first few times, you may be better off financially ordering at least two staves. Besides, it’s addictive.

Operative words being “at least”. IMHO and experience, you will need a LOT more than two. But you may have better ideas than I do.

Hi john, sorry for the late reply. I’ll sell a stave on occasion, but don’t generaly because it’s so hard to come by here in Idaho and, as Dave says, shipping is crazy high. Sometimes I’ll take a few to 3D shoots to help pay for the trip. If, after looking around, you can’t find something that you’re satisfied with, shoot me a PM.:wink:
