   Is it a notable winery ??  Here is an opportunity to construct some wine tasting tables or wine racks of "taste".  Worth?  Could be turned into a small fortune in the land of Movie Stars.

   Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

   Since it's been holding wine for years the wood will always smell like wine. You can make some nice wine racks and such but depending on what you make with it, the smell could be a benefit or a negative. For example, no one would want a baby crib that smells like wine. Worth? Whatever reclaimed oak is worth given the marketabilty of the smell. good luck

   Thanks to you and Bruce for your replys. Your are right about the wine smell but in times it settles down. These cask were white wine. I did make some small boxes out of red wine barrel heads [the flat ends]. I made them inside out with the purple stain on the out side with a locking miter joint and a rabbit lid. turn out pretty great. With a contractor friend, we're going to pick up the wood. I, looking [in my mine] 6' dia table tops.
