<P>i have some straight osage staves that have medium growth rings for trade or sell. the staves were cut in may. these need to be chased down to a growth ring fast because borers have gotten into the sapwood but not the heartwood. i just don't have time to chase them. wanting to trade for other wood or arrow building supplies. </P>
