This set of 10 authentic, American oak bourbon/whiskey barrel staves is perfect for your DIY craft, decor and furniture projects.
These staves come from barrels used in the heart of Bourbon Country in Kentucky. Each is similar in length and shape, has a dark charred interior and a darker stained, rustic-looking exterior. All staves arrive in used condition (remember – these are the real deal!) and vary in width.
IMPORTANT
Because our barrels are authentic, expect char, rust and/or dust. We do not clean or alter our barrels in any way, and as such, these residues will often transfer from the products to the box and surroundings.
PARCEL
All barrel parts are shipped via UPS or FedEx Ground.
FREIGHT
Volume orders will be shipped via an LTL motor freight provider. To ensure safety and freshness of your barrels, they are wrapped in plastic and strapped down to a pallet with a label identifying the pallet contents.
Shipment transit times vary depending on location, weather and carrier capacity. For specific delivery dates, expedited shipping, preferred shipping carrier or unique delivery requests contact us directly to arrange your shipment prior to ordering.
At checkout you will be asked to confirm your delivery location type. If you do not have a loading dock or forklift, a liftgate will be required. Offloads by hand are not available.
LOCAL PICKUP
Local pickup is available from our Louisville, KY location.

Just what I was expecting to try out a few new projects. Will definitely be ordering again.
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your stave project with us!
Exactly what i needed for my lure project.
I bought these bourbon barrel staves to build a mantle. 10 used staves were in the box. Little did I know that they were so true to form! I was expecting staves, but had no idea they came from a barrel of bourbon. I thought they were "before" staves. I took a grinder to the inside surface to remove the char, releasing the smell of bourbon in the air. Every hole I drilled released the scent of Kentucky's famous nectar. These were the real deal and have me contemplating another project with them. Perhaps I'll contemplate something over a bourbon, neat!
Michael,
Now that’s a review we can smell through the screen! We’re glad the staves were the real deal and that they brought a little bit of Kentucky into your project. The mantle turned out great, thanks for your order and for sharing the photos! We’ll raise a glass to whatever you build next!

This is exactly as described and perfect for my crafts. I will absolutly purchase from this seller again. Fast shipping and well packaged!
The description of item was spot on. My whole order was shipped the same day. I’m glad I made this purchase from Midwest Barrel Co.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I am going to pass this kudos along to our fulfillment team. They are the real MVPs with same day shipping. Cheers!
Perfect for project we did
The items were deeply distressed and unable to clean for use
Hi Jane, these staves come from authentic used barrels. They have held their spirit anywhere from 2-10 years and they certainly show it. Part of the authentic bourbon barrel process is that they are charred on the inside. There is a process you can do to scrape the char to remove it and seal it, but it is a lot of work. What was your goal project you were looking to make? Wine barrel staves are much cleaner and might be able to better achieve what you are looking for. Can you reach out to our team at info@midwestbarrelco.com so we can trouble shoot to help get you what you're looking for?
Cheers!

Exactly as described in post
Perfect for making wine bottle and wine glasses from splay.
So glad these worked! We would love to see your project when it's done. Cheers!
Staves were perfect
Thanks Randy! If you're working on a project we would love to see final product!
Staves came just as described. Using for a bottle opener collection display. Price was decent but I thought shipping was a little heavy. (More than the product)
I ordered 10 staves and a set of rings. I am working on a project making hanging lights for a wedding event barn. I can provide photos when complete. But the products I got were just what I needed.
The 10 Bourbon barrel staves came packaged pretty well, but that's not the reason for the five stars. The reason for the five stars is my first order got lost and UPS acted like they didn't know where it was within a day I got a message saying that they were going to send me out another order which came pretty quickly. The reason for the five stars is the magnificent customer service. Thank you guys

I couldn't have asked for more; $30 plus shipping for that much wood is great value, and the staves were all in good shape. It's the perfect material to use for a wooden art piece I'm making for a family of distillers that I became friends with. I'd absolutely order from y'all again.
they worked great
Perfect for our project
Valerie,
Thanks for your order and good luck with the project!

The barrel staves were of good quality; I just had hoped to receive a few wider ones than I received. Only one in each two boxes of 10 was greater than 3" in width and those were about 3 1/4" wide. A couple in each box were over 2" in width but most were closer to 1 1/2" wide. I will make them work for my projects though. If I were to purchase again, I would buy a whole barrel to get a few wider staves plus the ends. I do appreciate getting the staves on sale. Thank you.
Gerald,
Thanks so much for your order—and for the thoughtful review. We hear you on the stave widths; they definitely vary since they’re pulled from a mix of barrels. Sounds like you’ve got a solid plan moving forward, and we’re glad the sale helped make it worthwhile. Best of luck with your project!

Product is quality as expected

I’ve purchased a couple boxes of staves for
chip carving over the past few years. MBC was very prompt and reliable. I will certainly return to MBC for more in the future. Prices are reasonable too. For me, they’re the best game in town.
Very authentic and just as promised!
We received the order quickly. Used to make flight boards and they look great !
Staff helped me pick out exactly what I needed!
