How to use this prompt

The rising ring of staves is the recognisable moment in coopering, so the prompt shows the barrel half-built and bound by a loose hoop rather than finished. The fire pot toasting the interior is both true to the craft and the light source; warm light from below against a dim workshop gives the oak a glow that overhead light cannot. Naming oak staves and a drawknife gives the model the right wood and tools. Keep the hoop loose, not driven home, so the viewer understands the staves are still being drawn together. Shavings on the floor mark an active bench.

Variations to try

  • The cooper driving the hoop down with a hammer and punch
  • A close-up of the stave joints being fitted
