Hardwood Stave for Backed Bow Builds

Crafted from solid, high-quality hardwoods, these staves are specifically selected for bowyers creating laminated bows with bamboo or hardwood backs. Their slightly imperfect grain is ideal for supported designs, making it a reliable choice when combined with a backing material.

Key specifications:

• 68" long

• 1½" wide, 7/16"–½" thick

• One face smoothed and ready for glue-up

This versatile hardwood stave gives you a durable, dependable foundation for laminated bows, allowing you to focus on shaping, tillering, and fine-tuning performance rather than worrying about the wood’s structural integrity.
