Working with Osage
«

I am thinking of buying an Osage stave off the (other site) and have a question. Is the rings easier to chase when they are close or wider? What do I look for, I have never attempted to make a bow before.
Thanks

I like tight, uniform rings, in a straight stave. Good luck, good straight staves and rings are hard to come by!

Thicker rings are easier to chase. Anything over 1/16" thick should be fine to start with. Clean is more important than straight. But straighter is better. Look for a stave that is 66" or longer.
