Each stave once bore the weight of flame-tempered oak and aging bourbon — and now, cut and refined by hand, it serves again with dignity and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"892\"\u003eThe seat’s gentle curve comes naturally from the barrel’s original form, shaped long ago by a cooper’s hammer and fire.
