Expertise
|
Our highly skilled stave makers take scrupulous care
of the selected logs that are first cut into bolts and
then hand-split first into halves, then quarters, and
finally into dressed timber and stave wood before
being crafted by the markers, sawyers, splitters,
edger tender & graders.
SOGIBOIS strongly upholds the time-honoured
tradition that requires this work to be done by
hand. However the tools themselves have developed
over time with the same ultimate aim of providing
the tool best suited to the worker’s hand and the staves.

Rigour
|
We are as exacting and uncompromising with
ourselves as our customers are with us. Each work
station, every detail of the stave is controlled to make
sure it has the exact “ring” to it.
The finely crafted cask wood is then carefully
stacked in the sunshine of the stave yard, where it is
air-dried for 36 months.
The drying period allows the rough staves to achieve
the full maturation required to be later fashioned
into voluptuously curved, chamfered and sanded
staves by master coopers.
