A 2-gallon unlined wooden oak bucket from Lehman’s with copper bands holding the staves — the traditional cooperage-built bucket form, USA Made, for both decorative display and active service. Holds water once the staves swell tight, also works dry for storing apples, root vegetables, or kindling.
This is the bucket for buyers who want a real wooden bucket on a porch, in a mudroom, or hung from a barn beam — the kind that’s been holding water for 200 years before plastic took over the form. Copper bands age to a warm patina that pairs with oak grain.
