If it was mine and had enough width for the full length of the stave, I would take it down to one of these thicker rings with better early/late wood ratio, and add a glue on handle if necessary.

Well you all convinced me. I'll go for that belly split and see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I'll post what happens

Good luck! I'm not sure that top part is worth the risk of splitting (those bottom rings look pretty nice, and the top ones have a poor early/late ratio as mentioned). You will be able to drawknife down to a good ring pretty rapidly if you go that route. Not to be bossy...
