Did you know that bourbon barrels are only used once for the making of actual bourbon? Yep. They get sent off to other booze makers to be used again, or they’re taken apart and people like us buy the pieces and get our DIY on.
We bought a stave, one of the skinny pieces of wood that makes up the barrel’s side, at one of the distillery gift shops in Louisville. We debated adding hooks to it first, but in the end we went with FIRE.
Here’s what you need:
First, we found the middle point on the stave and marked the side with a pencil. At first we considered being all scientific and dividing each side by three to mark the additional spots, but that got into some weird fractions so we went the easy route and made all of them 4″ apart.
