These classic oak barrels are crafted from solid oak and reinforced with galvanized metal hoops for long-term durability. Lined with paraffin wax for watertightness, they’re ideal for wagon use, movie and theater props, or rustic display.
Because of the paraffin lining, these barrels are not recommended for wine aging. Light toasting from the cooperage heating process may be present.
Key Features:
-
Traditional Barrel Construction
Solid oak staves and galvanized steel hoops create a strong, time-tested design built to last. -
Paraffin-Lined Interior

Care & Storage
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.
