I have a Mulberry stave, I have to cut off 3 rings to get to the 4th nice think ring in which I am chasing.
For the most part I am chasing it with a draw knife.
I am also using a very sharp hunting knife around the nubs and to finely scrape for a smooth finish.
I have been at it for roughly 4 hours and only down to half a stave finished.

If this is the right way, then anyone who performs this task deserves the right to be called a Bowyer.
