I have some hickory staves listed in the classifieds. I am interested in getting a boo backed hickory unfinished bow made in exchange for some staves. If interested please check classifieds. Thanks

Those are good looking hickory staves. Why not make your own backed bow. If it were me, I would find a hickory board and back it and save the staves for self bows. I hate to see good self bow staves misused as backed bows. Pat

I don't do wood backed bows but those are prime hickory selfbow staves. Jawge

Those look good but you better debark them.Trade you some O'sage billits for some of those hickory staves.
