We live in the North East of Scotland near the Whisky Trail where Distilleries abound, there are 7 working and 1 historic in a small area. Distilleries are supported by Cooperages, and there are 2 nearby,1 where barrels are repaired, and 1 who make them new as well as make repairs.
Below a stave which is no longer suitable for use
Sanded using hubby's orbital sander, the oak cleans up with a bit of care and sanding, I then marked the position I wanted to put the tea-lights and using a 40mm circle hole cutter, cut to the depth of the tea-light. Poor hubby was on tenterhooks the whole time, not sure whether he was worried about me or his tools though.
Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

What a fabulous project Meg, you've done an amazing job and created something very decorative and useful out of a redundant piece of wood. Well done you for getting hubby to let you use his tools too, I don't think mine would have been so obliging :)
