Yep they're white oak and scorched on the inside.
The staves run about 1"-3" at their widest and 1" thick by 36" long. They also have barrel heads that have better boards for handles.
I hadn't thought of the warping. I do want to minimized that since i want to maintain the scortched area as a spacer.
The staves run $9 & the barrel heads $8. I hoping that when I order I can check on the bands
Here is an example of the staves:
And the barrel head:
