Description

This Osage Orange bow stave is hand-split from a dead standing tree and has been drying since April 2024. It is 67 1/4" long, 2 1/8" - 2 1/2" wide, and 1 3/8" - 1 3/4" thick in the handle section/midway(expect about 1 1/2" thick in the center or 'high crown'). There's some very tiny pin knots about 7" from one end; There's 1 pin knot near the edge in the handle section/midway that's 32" from the nearest end. It has a small knot on the belly side only that's also in the handle section/midway. There's a crack near the edge at one end with over 2" clearance beside it(see pics) that's easily avoidable. It split cleanly. Slight twist. It's already to one growth ring - just take it down one more yourself.
I usually chase a ring on all staves - but you should always take it down one more ring yourself.
SHIPPING: I do offer combined shipping. One stave will be full price, then it will be about - for each additional stave in the same order. So if two cost to ship, once combined, it will be roughly ...and so on.
