[QUOTE="Stefan, post: 134673, member: 793"] Wes, are you talking about FS Smit by Laborie? They import barrels, french and american oak(Nadalie coopers iirc), but also do recondition and cleaning of barrels. Radoux in Stellies by Distell make barrels from imported oak.(French and American). Just a matter of interest, all oak is imported, mainly from france and america and then some from other localities like Hungary. Local oak, and those those growing in warmer areas aren't used, because the grain is too 'loose' and will leak. American oak(Quercus sp.) can be cut/sawed, french needs to be split along the grain, otherwise it'll also leak. Back to topic: The heads of the barrel, you can easily remove by taking of the metal rings and knock it out. If you wanna seal the barrel, maybe you can fill it with some epoxy and do a 'roto-cast'. A couple of layers could just do the trick. [/QUOTE]
