I see and get it but with what this will be (for show only)and the bands around the outside(opportunity to try steam bending) I don't they are necessary for this application.
-
I did use Lew's idea. It work very well here's a pic to keep the build current.

Managed to route the rabbet, got the base made and glued in.

No they will be strictly decorative

The staves are only half inch thick might be a little tough to spline them.

Yes Lew , my wife got me some pics of an original and that's the way they were built. I was going from internet pictures which never showed the bottom. These are actually used for sugar/sap collection so they needed to be completely sealed like a bucket.

Guys, thanks for the info. I made a circle template and I'm waiting for the blocks I glued to the bottom to dry before routing the rabbet. As I go forward I'm going to route a groove in the staves b4 they are cut. Then I'll taper the circle bottom an glue it in as the firkin gets assembled. Thinking the bands around the exterior will go a long way to holding it all together.

I like this Lew, I hope I have a short enough pattern bit.
-
No but have figured out the technique. This is a firkin, working on a set. Making a steam box today to do the rings.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
