I made a little progress on the green stave. I trimmed it and I will make a kid's bow out of the trimmings. The stave is fairly uniform 2 inch wide, squared with the back, just a little sapwood left over the first yellow ring. Shellac on the back and ends.

Here's a mulberry stave I got from DCM. I'm thinking of making 1 or 2 ELB's from this.
I started a thread at Leatherwall.

Here's that crooked stave after heat gunning. I took out a lot of twist and some side to side while reflexing it evenly.
