This handcrafted wooden barrel, available in various sizes, offers an original and traditional way to store liquids. Over time, the Swiss stone pine releases its active ingredients into the stored liquid, while substances from the liquid are absorbed by the wood. We therefore recommend not using the barrel for different liquids.
The essential oils in the Swiss stone pine also help keep bothersome insects away.

Details and description

The wooden barrel, made from pure Swiss stone pine, is crafted from individual pieces without glue. The staves are held in place by the base, lid and metal hoops. To ensure stability, the barrel rests on a stand, known as a trestle. The tap and bung (stopper) are made of beechwood. Beech is a hardwood and is perfectly suited to this purpose.

Fill the barrel completely with lukewarm water and leave it to stand for 12 hours without the bung. The base and stave joints will swell and seal the barrel.
