Since the tools necessary for this type of work were not readily available on the market, Jim has made the tools he needed. Using these handmade tools, he has done demonstrations of coopering at Homestead National Monument and Hollenburg Station and re-enactments. Many museums have purchased from Beaver Buckets, including the Smithsonian Institute and Lincoln's New Salem. Jim handcrafted his first buckets without power tools. Because the time involved in this process was prohibitive economically, he began using a limited number of small power tools in the construction of his buckets, basins, and other items.
Every bucket is unique and fully functional.
He will customize a container or reproduce one to meet the customer s specifications. We hope you will enjoy our website and your purchase of Beaver Buckets. Home Catalog Beaver Buckets Rt. Copyright 2001 by Beaver Buckets all rights reserved.
