New York State is blessed with fertile soils that produce quality northern hardwoods sought by craftsmen throughout
the world. You now have the opportunity to purchase hickory staves grown in these fertile upland forests.
Our hickory staves come from large diameter, veneer quality trees. Large diameter trees yield staves with very flat backs, thus gives superior bow strength. The veneer quality produces
staves that are virtually flawless (clear wood with no knots). You will receive premium hickory staves that are very straight grained and virtually flawless. This lets you create heavy
weight, hard hitting, straight standing, unbacked bows of virtually any design. These staves are winter cut and stored indoors.
Jim,
Just a short note to let you know about my first hickory stave. I now have a sweet little hickory bow, 62" long and 50# at 26" draw. The stave was very nice to work with.
I would like another stave to build a Paul Comstock design flat bow.
Thank you very much for your help. I'm looking forward to buidling another bow!
