Whiskey stave shutters?

Hello there might be some curvature involved in the wood. This link might show the characteristic wood repurposed to see if its something to

reconsider

There is a curve to the staves. They probably wouldn't work.

Here are some ideas

measure them, cut them and put a wood stain or something to preserve the wood and hang them up

I’ve seen them used as wall cladding so I bet you could do this. They do curve so cutting them in smaller pieces might be helpful. It’ll be a great look!

I think that would look really cool. Once you disassemble the barrel, you will have to straighten out the staves. Dampen and place weights on them and slowly over a bit of time they should get to a shape where you can use them.

Yes, the staves will have a curve, you could try to straighten that out or you could let them have thier own shape and put them up as a series of parenthesis around your window.

Interesting project.

Hi Timmy, hope this helps you out,
