any osage staves for sale anyone?

Ebay always has dome. If you go to Primitive Archery Magazine you can probally find some for sale.

osage outlaw on PA always has some good osage. There will be some at our Arkansas State longbow/selfbow shoot sept. 1-2 too.

I just paged Clint to the LW. He will be along to talk to you. I wouldn't buy them from anybody else.

Agree with Pearly.. Clint has great staves at resonable prices.

Thanks guys. I sent you a private reply Kodiak Kid.

I'd like to know prices on a stave as well please.

I've always wondered if You can take a GOOD OSAGE STAVE and make a self bow that isn't crooked as a bad fence post? Or would it better to use OSAGE for lams & risers?? Just asking. BLESSED BE! BATMAN

Absolutely Batman. While I LOVE the challenge and appeal of trying to tame extremely snakey osage bows so they behave as well as a well-made straight one, straight ones can be almost as endearing. My #1 osage selfbow, Lioness, is as straight as any glass bow. And she's a friggin' straight up bloodthirsty killer.

I have grade A #1 perfectly clear plain, rift, and quarter sawn osage in the form of dimensional lumber that I use for bamboo and hardwood backed bows, risers, glass bow lams and such... plus I have perfectly straight osage staves for selfbows and sinew backed bows, and I have some of the snakiest osage staves you've ever seen. And it's ALL equally appealing to me, depending on the mood I'm in when the urge to make a bow strikes me.

I've been getting the urge lately to go cut some more osage trees. That's a very enjoyable and optimistic part of bow making.

Osage friggin ROCKS dude!

Here is some.

Some more finished.

Arvin, some people might tell you they are a bit wide for osage but you can tell them you won the broadhead flight challenge with that style.

When You can get OSAGE straight and shooting well, it's a case of AIN'T BROKE so don't fix it! Just saying..BATMAN

I have one of Arvins bows. It is straight as a string except for the reflexed tips. Not a pin knot or a crook,on it. 44 @ 29" 69" long and a fast flight string. It is so slick and delicate looking I was afraid to string it. He just laughed at me and said " I don't build them to look at." >>>----> Ken

I've made straight osage bows and I've made crooked ones too. Straight ones are easier to make than crooked ones but crooked ones are more fun to make. Jawge

Jawge you can make good bows from crooked staves. Easier maybe. If you take a crooked one and make it straight is sometimes a s big a challenge. Why cause you can. Just like making a crooked stave into a bow. Arvin

I buy as straight as I can afford, usually just a little twist and a few wiggles.
