Staves are the raw product you have just before you touch it with a tool...doesnt look like a bow...looks like long split wood...is that perfecrly unclear?.....lmbo....a seasoned stave is a beautiful thing.

I would really like to come, I have one weekend that I am already committed to in Oct.

If there is no conflict, I will be there. I don't know that I have any special skills, but I am good at labor. I will be watching this for a firm date.

Arvin, I'm in depending on what weekend. Have to check if I am working.

There's a fellow named Mickey Miller in Dallas who wrote his master's thesis on primitive weapons in north Texas. As part of his research, he built a bunch of bows and went hunting with them. I got to see some of his bows, and he is uber talented. He has Osage bows with all kinds of character and knot holes through them. It was pretty dazzling to behold. Anyway, the last time I talked to him, he had something like 200 Osage staves. We should see if we can get him to come. Here's his paper if anybody is interested:

You have major story telling skills. The one about you glueing your head to the floor still cracks me up.
