| Description: |  | The object of our invention is to plane split staves in such a manner that the grain of the wood, may not be cut crosswise of the stave; or (in other words) so that the stave may be dressed to its desired thickness and form, and at the same time retain the natural crooks and winds of the timber. |  |
