Thanks for that information.  I am familiar with the term honey wagon, which was a septic pumper.  I think this may have been a bucket used to tote the honey from a wild hive.  The one pictured in the book on Stewart is not terribly large.  To me it looks about six inches across and tall.  

Thanks for sharing what you do.  I am aspiring to make some buckets and piggins and have make a croze and hoop driver. Mainly just for fun gifts.  I have successfully made a coopered dipper, and enjoyed that build.

I read a book on Alex Stewart (I suspect you might recognize him from the butter churn chapter n Firefox 3) and he mentioned honey buckets and that there were certain woods appropriate for making them.  No more detail was included.  I am curious, do you know much about these and could you share what kind of woods would be appropriate?  Also what dimensions were these buckets?  Do they look like the lidded bucket shared on your website.  

Thanks for the education work you do.  Oh and your shop is well organized!!
