Nope!! A good set of billets are easier to find and cheaper than a nice full stave like that one.

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Heck no! I'd start looking for some well seasoned billets. They should be easy to find, and much less expensive than a replacement stave of the same caliber.
