There will be a problem with the one made of chestnut, if you are
looking at American Chestnut. This tree almost died out decades ago
because of a Blight. It is slowly being brought back by the American
Chestnut Association, by seeking out the remaining Chestnut trees and
breeding a tree that is resistant to the Blight.
In other words, it is a very, very rare tree.

I am finding lots of barrels (mostly for wine) but finding the right
size in the
right woods are the problem.
What I think I need to do is find a barrel maker and commission the
wood I want.
The first one I will need is a 75 liter Chestnut! It says it could also
be Oak.
The second one would be a 50 liter Cherry (that one is going to be hard
to
find).
More research into exactly which woods is needed and a detailed
process.
BUT I am going to try this in the fall when the grape harvest comes in!
Anyone in the Seattle area up for it?
