why are wooden barrels convex instead of cylindrical (like steel drums)?
In: 24
Because of how they are made, you couldn’t wedge the band on a cylindrical barrel.
A barrel can also be made conical like this https://www.dreamstime.com/front-view-closeup-old-wooden-conical-wine-whiskey-beer-barrel-rusted-metallic-collars-isolated-white-background-image221014876
But that style is less convenient to handle. Typical barrel shape is easier to roll around.
