    Osage sources

    Wanting to try another selfbow build and see if i can turn one out in the 40 to 45 lb range. First one i did came out way too heavy, second one was a challenge with knots and got a hinge.

    What good options might i not be aware of for getting hands on a decent stave? My first one came from Mike Yancey, and if need be, I'll bite the bullet and call him again. The second was an ebay special just for the fun of it. No access to harvest one myself. What other sources are good?

    Maybe you can get one from Arvin?

      Jerry Stover, Yukon, OK. Jerry's Yellow Lumber. 405-919-3755. I've probably purchased 50-60 staves from Jerry.

        Awesome, must be good staves if you keep going back. Prices comparable to others? A lot of what i see in searches lately are around 150, hence why I'm asking about other sources.

                Yes Jerry can fix you up. 90-120 for premium stave plus shipping. Character staves $60-85. These where the prices I paid at OJAM from him. Arvin

                    Is Jerry Stover still a good person to get staves from? Any other place I should look into? Looking for a Osage stave. Maybe hickory if Osage are to expensive seeing as it’s going to be my first try on making a self bow.

                        I’ve got what I think is a decent one you can have. Can probably get two bows out of it. I’m in Kingwood.

                          Does anyone know if Jerry is still around? I’m actually living in Yukon now, and would like to catch up with him. I saw an obituary for a Jerry Lynn Stover for February of 2018.

                          Thanks,

                              Thanks Arvin. I’ll give him a ring.
