I did manage to get two with a little planning. Goat cut the stave 80" so it gave me a little fudge factor. This is the billet from the smaller end of the stave so the other half will be easier.
In the second picture you can see grey stripes in the wood. My memory is saying this is normal for BL, am I right?
