Solid oak paraffin lined barrel. 5, 10, 15 Gallon sizes available.
These quality solid oak barrels are reinforced with galvanized metal hoops- made to last!
They are paraffin lined to insure water tightness and have solid ends with a bilge bore and bung. Light toasting is evident from the heating/bending process. Because of the paraffin lining, they are not designed for aging wine.
Ideal for movie and theatre props or for use on your wagon. Store in a cool, dry place.

Care Info
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
- If used outdoors, keep it protected from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, which can cause wood expansion and contraction.
Cleaning (For Liquid Use)
- Rinse with warm water only after each use.
- Avoid soap, harsh chemicals, or hot water, as these can degrade the paraffin lining.
- If odors develop, use a mild solution of warm water and baking soda, then rinse thoroughly.
Preventing Drying & Cracking
- While the paraffin lining reduces the need for hydration, the wood exterior can still dry out over time.
- If stored in a very dry environment, occasionally mist the outside with water or use a food-safe wood conditioner to prevent excessive drying.
Barrel Bands & Maintenance
- If the metal bands become loose due to wood shrinkage, they can be driven back onto the bulge of the barrel and resecured.
- This can be done using a rubber mallet or a wooden block and hammer, ensuring they are snug against the staves.
For Decorative or Display Use
- If not used for liquids, periodic dusting and a light application of wood oil or wax on the exterior can help maintain the barrel’s appearance.
- If using outdoors, consider applying a UV-protective wood sealant to preserve its look and durability.
