Another Black Locust ?
« on: May 11, 2010, 06:13:00 PM »
Has anyone ever tried using an old Black Locust fence post as a stave? I know staples/nails would be an issue.

 Thanks, Tim C.

I did years ago. You have to let them dry well if you are pulling them out of or off of the ground. Stained staple holes add good character to the bow.
