Congrats! You'll be spoiled now! Oak sticks work fine but you just can't beat a real barrel...

Major neat! Is that crest painted or burned in? If burned in, advise us how you did it.

Neat thing is when I filled with water to swell and rinse, that water, later smelled like some thing beautiful
had aged for 10 years ,hard to put in to words but trust Me it was really really nice.
I can hardly wait till this stuff comes to it's own.
