Not on here, no.

Put your email addy in a post, and tag the person you want to receive it.  They'll get a notification of your post, with the first couple of lines of the post to their email.

Then edit/delete your post so your email is no longer visible (if you don't want it visible to anyone just passing through.

I finally dismantled one of these barrels today. Hammer and bar did the trick, it was quite easy. I just knocked off the metal bands/hoops (don’t know the technical term) and the thing just fell apart. A lot of the staves are quite saturated but some are dry, some are charred black and others are very clean. The are all top quality oak of varying widths but all are about 27mm thick. The top and bottom fell into several pieces but are about 40mm thick. They all need a thorough drying out before any processing/thicknessing etc and I’ll lose a bit of the thickness doing this but I think it will be worth it. 
So maybe by the end of the year, it may be dry enough to use. 😆 

It’s nice stuff but it is heavy.

@nsj No you didn’t have to at all. 😂 

It will be a “rum” do , whatever I make from it. 

Im not sure what was in it to be honest. It’s definitely alcoholic though, I can smell it, it’s like vinegar. What is that, acetic acid or something?
