I have an Osage stave that would be easier to work with. It doesn't need to be straightened, it has thick growth rings, and it is about 70" long. But it is narrow and you would have to go down a bit to chase a ring because of a separation in the growth rings near the top of the stave. Do you have more to offer to trade other than staves that are twisted and have tight growth rings? I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I'm just curious, like some rawhide or some snakeskins? I'm not really interested in any more staves at the moment unless its a white oak stave.
Thanks,
