Title: Shipping staves...best way/ideas?
Post by: Dave Bowers on April 04, 2013, 04:10:00 PM
My buddy from the Corps lives in Iowa and he just cut me some Osage. We need some ideas on shipping these bad boys? The tallest is 72".

Any ideas?

Dave I just wrap staves in paper and tape and ship it USPS, parsal post. Generally about $20. You can use shrink wrap or just tape too. The closer you get it to bow size the cheaper it will be.

Road trip.

You are probably looking at 10-13 hours each way 3-400 bucks in gas, but you can fit a whole tree in the truck.

Maybe you can combine a hunt at the same time?

You will hit the oversize ballon rate at 84".  That is length of package + circumference @ USPS.
