The Cooper

The cooper was an important role in daily life at Fort Langley. They made wooden casks, barrels, vats, buckets, tubs, troughs and other similar containers from timber staves that were usually heated or steamed to make them pliable. Today skilled interpreters bring history alive for visitors to the Fort. Their amazing talents and knowledge both entertain and educate. This photo is part of my ongoing Artisans at Work project.
