Exactly as described. The exterior of the staves I received is very "shopworn" and would require a lot of sanding if you're looking for clean wood. Also, the inside of the box will be full of the loose, black char and dust that falls off the staves. Open the box outside!

I knew staves were from a used whiskey barrel but didn’t realize they were going to be so charred and dirty not usable for much.

Very nice authentic wood to get creative with. The aroma is warming and definitely full of character.

Better than I expected to get for the price no cracks in the wood no broken ones. Shipping was extremely fast for living in the northwest.

I'm using these to make a liquor cabinet.The staves are thoroughly charred (on the inside). I'm trying to encapsulate the char (poly?, resin?), but it sands off easy if you go that way.

This was EXACTLY what I had in mind for my most recent crazy house project... a headboard! Please make sure you read the description, these come DIRTY (like real dirty), but sanding and getting to smell that heavenly sweet aroma of bourbon is so worth it!!! The description also didn’t fail me- there was a wonderful variety of sizes for any project you’re looking to tackle. This is a must purchase for sure

These are excellent for most any stave project!Five bucks for the stave, two for the tea candles, a couple of coats of shellac, poly, or lacquer, and you have a $50 candle holder. Friends and family really appreciate these as gifts.These are ‘raw’ staves and must be cleaned to control the char. But when cutting or drilling these, that distinct aroma of Kentucky bourbon fills the air.

Nice mix of widths including some wider staves. Arrived in good condition, though package was a bit beat up on arrival; they were just packed in a cardboard box with minimal protection, which is the main reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars.
