Ive been quite choosy  about the next stave, following some of the wisdom of the Traditional Bowyers Bible Ive rejected three staves because of various defects or problems-to-be. Two maple staves got the pass, due to grain defects, and another I split from a Black Locust log Ive been seasoning hasnt quite made the mark due to checking (small splits from drying). Theres still more that might make the grade. Ill try to update soon.  :tup:
