This blog follows my journey learning the traditional craft of coopering—making wooden buckets, tankards, and vessels from staves and hoops.
Inspired by history and shaped by hands-on practice through the Society for Creative Anachronism, I’m learning the trade one project at a time using a mix of traditional methods and modern tools.
I’m not a master—just an apprentice, learning one stave at a time
