Where to buy really great Osage staves???

[Aram Barsch]

Does anyone know of a place I can get some really good seasoned Osage staves for students to use? I need seven for a class in May. I'm looking for really premium wood...

Any help will be appreciated.

Mike Yancy, Pine Hollow has osage but for beginners he also has hickory and it would probably be cheaper.

I've been getting staves from Mike for years, and they are always great - but this year he doesn't have the grade I need. Any other ideas?

Raptor Archery and Echo Archery have osage staves.  They are both in Oregon and each have websites you can check out.  I've bought cherry bark from one and bamboo backing from the other and was satisfied with what they sent me.  I haven't bought a stave though, so I don't have any idea on the quality of them.
