Does anyone know how to get onto some Osage orange for a self bow or is that like asking where all the deer hang out. Bit iffy on getting something internationally as the dollar is garbage and I don't trust it.

Cheers

None that I know of up your way mate, most is in NSW that I'm aware of anyway.

I have bought a stave from a bloke on Ebay and its exactly what was pictured and a pretty decent stave, though I agree the dollar is garbage at the moment. My stave ran me $220 to get it over here but arrived in 2 weeks, no hassles. I will see if I can find you the link to his stuff.

Few guys on here might be able to help you out as well. hopefully they'll chime in eventually.

Awesome thanks for the info from both of you. If you could send through the link that would be great.

I will get intouch once I move house and am settled, I can get a price and then suss out the cost of a courier.

Thanks again.
