Shortened the first one to 60". Will have to steam and straighten it some before I proceed. Worked 2 more hickory staves. 1 pretty good if I can get under a small rot area. The other was looking good until I stepped on my vaccum hose while reducing thickness with the band saw.... we will see. Also chased a back on a belly split from a piece of osage. It looks pretty good and.shluld make a bow at a later time.
