With a vise I find it important to have a post on your bench out from the vise to support your stave. I use my bench post and the vise rotation to heat straighten staves as well.

I use a stave press and a regular vise. I liked the stave press  so much that when I built a workbench for bows I made a bigger face vise version of it but open one side for faster access.
