And at Rudderbows he offers a reasonable discount for 5 bow staves or more.

I've mentioned them before, but I have no problem putting in another plug 
for some honest merchants. Two web sites you will definitely want to check out 
is 
www.rudderbows.com
and
www.buildabow.com
Check out the floor tillered hickory staves. They've already picked out a 
good piece of wood for you. They've already knocked out the hard work by doing 
75-80 per cent of the shaping, to include cutting in string nocks. All that 
for thirty bucks, or roughly the price of a 20 lb. fiberglass kid's bow.
A "purist" would sneer, and call it cheating to go that route. But I'm here 
to tell you, a 75-80 per cent rough shaped stave is still a good ways from 
being a finished bow, so it'll still be uniquely yours when you're done. If 
you're scared you'll waste money buying a piece of wood, only to find later it's 
unsuitable, or if you're not very well equipped to do woodworking, then by all 
means consider one of these.
If you're really a klutz (yes, some of us are), but still crave a nice 
wooden bow without completely breaking the bank, go to www.rudderbows.com and 
check out the "U-finish" bows. Holy Longbow Batman!

Cheers,
Robert of Yorkshire
