Sister staves

Pappy:
I had a great time in Cloverdale,while I was there I always take something to work on.This
time I took the top off the snake bow I made.I planed on making a match to it.When I got it debarked and down to a ring it looked wide enough to get two side by side so I layed them out and it worked fine.I cut them out when I got home and now instead of having sister and baby sister I have sister and twin baby sisters.I also meet a German named Manfred and he had a stave with a lot of snake and ask if I thought he could get a belly split off it and have a matching pair.I told him I would try if it were mine so he wanted me to do it,now let me tell you this was a big guy but I did it and it couldn't have went better it split right down the growth ring and all he had to do was clean it up and he had matching set for him and his wife.Here are the pictures.

Pappy, looks to me like you have a set of twins with an older sister! One big happy family! ;D

DCM:
I  love that kind of stuff, going a freebie and having the project go well.  I guess I'm a cheap bastid but I just like to see the most use come from what's at hand.  Those are some really clean staves too, nowithstanding the shape.

Pappy:
Ya they said I was being greety,but I couldn't help it,snaky ones like that are hard to come by.
and to get 3 from one stave is almost more than I can stand. ;D
