    Description

    This is a 58 inch long eastern hophornbeam bow stave. The tree was cut and the stave split in October of 2020. I removed the bark and most of the cambium, and roughed the stave down to its current form last November. The stave should be dry and ready to work. I sealed the ends and the back of the cambium with Titebond III wood glue. The stave is 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick on the small end, 1-7/8 inches wide and 1 inch thick at its midpoint, and 2 inches wide and 1-1/8 inch thick on the larger end. It is fairly straight with a little twist and a little reflex. It has narrow rings, as is typical of hophornbeam. I see three pin knots visible on the stave's back, and three more on the belly. I try hard to take good photos so you know exactly what you are getting. Let me know if you have questions or need more.
    I ship within the US only, no international shipping. I am happy to combine shipping with other staves. I have 100% positive feedback here on eBay, so bid and buy with confidence.
