here's a quote from the Times; it doesn't appear to be in current use:

1893 Times 20 May 11/5 Thatching,..fence-building, mowing and sheaving are, we are assured, becoming lost arts.

edit:
sleaving - rare. Now dial.

[f. SLEAVE v. Cf. SLAVING n.]

A slip taken from a tree by splitting or pulling.
