Hamish:
 +1 for bandsawing  narrow logs. Unless you are experienced in reading the grain, or the stave obviously has corkscrew in the bark, you are better off bandsawing(or even using a handsaw, like a bowsaw).

I would also clamp them to a form to stop any potential twisting whilst drying, as many of these staves from small diameter logs often do. Pat's advice is spot on for these types of staves..
