Does your husband make barrels, like wine / whiskey barrels?

hi Yve!
He made buckets, piggins, butter churns, that sort of thing along with his hand carved wooden spoons and bowls...no barrels.
I think somewhere back in this thread he (Steve Folkers) explains the difference in his coopered items and those of a barrel cooper.

He no longer does any coopering although he is still making a few spoons and bowls.

He'll answer questions about the work here though

On the first page of this thread, down a few posts is a good explanation of the different types of coopering.

Do the next thing next. That's a pretty good rule. Read the tiny ad, that's a pretty good rule, too.
