Title: I got my wood at the Tn. Classic
Post by: Mad Max on May 03, 2021, 11:11:49 AM

I picked up 6 Osage Staves
One, 1" thick x 5-1/2" wide x 9' 3" long Blonde Ipe Board I cut into three 37" Blanks, Not vertical grain but James Parker said it was just as good so I got it cheep.
Some burl pieces Jim Hammer gave to me
One pair of Sturgeon fish skins for the Snakey Stave in the middle
6 T Shirts

Osage staves are getting high, so I got them before they get higher.
I have about 10 or so now.

Nice haul, Mark. Who did you get the osage from? Clint?

The price is getting to high, I have 10/11 staves (inventory) now for 5/6 years.

I forgot, James gave me 2 pieces of Buffalo horn for tip overlays and riser overlays.
one edge is 1/2" thick :thumbsup:
