Making a bow stave

Join BWH in learning the first step in making your own bow, splitting a stave and chasing growth rings. Here a stave is split into two potential bows, a horse bow and a long bow. #archery #primitive #bow #osage #homsteading

Or are you going to offer any classes to locals or anyone willing to travel to you?

Perhaps in time I can do such things. I want to get a good look at the process posted on here. That will give us a gauge on the interest in these very old school bows.

Do you sell these staves?

The rarity of this particular wood in the Ozarks keeps me from getting rid of the small amount I can find. However I can keep a piece to give you.
