Dales brewery cooper

Caption:
|
The cooper is one of the most highly skilled craftsmen in wood. While cabinet-makers and joiners work precisely to written measurements and drawings, the cooper by his skill, his sense of shape and form, will produce an article perfectly fitted for the job it has to do. The skill of the cooper lies in chiefly in making the staves. A cask is made from a number of staves or sections of wood, enclosing a circular head at either end and bound together with steel hops. Each stave has to be carefully shaped and bevelled with edges that are cut with the exact angle to form the tight-fitting circle of the belly of the cask
