Hey guys I am really looking for someone nice and close that could guide me through my first or even first couple stave builds. I have been building from boards for a couple years now and feel quite comfortable with layout there but for some reason stave orientation and initial stave layout seems daunting to me(knots, grain, one ring back). I honestly think that an hour or two of hands on stave time would be great. I have several staves of sage, elm, persimmon, and oak and would be happy to part with any in return. I try hard to make the meets the last couple times but have had to miss due to various reasons. Anybody local that thinks they could help just pm me!!
Thanks!
