''New Ruling from 1st Jan 2018''<br>
+
No wooden buckets with visible wide iron hoops.<br>
+
These can be made ''Allowable'' by applying wooden laths, withies or a copper-alloy (''RICH'') strip over the hoops. Buckets may be wider at the top, wider at the bottom or parallel sided. Hoops from wooden laths or withies are ''Encouraged'', but thin iron bars are ''Optional''. ''RICH'' Viking or English characters may own a bucket with decorated copper-alloy hoops or metal plates.

=Authenticity Guide=
+
Buckets from our period may be either wider at the top, wider at the bottom or parallel sided. Hoops should ideally be made from wooden laths or withies but thin semi-circular or triangular section iron bar is allowable. Buckets handles may be of iron or made from an authentic cordage. <br>
+
RICH Viking or English characters may own a copper-alloy hooped or plated bucket. These buckets may have either iron or copper-alloy handles.
+
 
+
===Encouraged (All Periods)===
+
Simple wooden buckets bound with natural materials or thin iron hoops. Handles can be made of wood, rope or iron. Staves are made from oak, yew, ash or pine. Bindings of yew, ash, pine, hazel, willow, alder, fir and maple. Either as withies or laths. Base plates are constructed from planks doweled together.<br>
+
Some buckets were made from hollowed out logs. They have a separate base inserted into a notch. Usually bound in withies. Just like stave buckets, they have two extended handle-staves for attaching the handle to.

+
===Optional (All Periods)===
+
Copper-alloy bound buckets are usually of Irish manufacture and a number of them have been found in Norway. Handles can be of either iron or copper-alloy. Instead of a handle some buckets have four iron carrying rings. Some of these buckets are reinforced with thin iron hoops between the brass hoops. <br>
+
These buckets are classed as ''Restricted'' and may only be used by ''RICH'' characters.

+
 
+
===Unacceptable (All Periods)===
+
No wooden buckets with visible wide iron hoops. Wide metal hoops can be made allowable by being hidden under wooden laths, withies or a copper-alloy strip. Using copper-alloy would restrict the bucket to RICH characters.

=====Hedeby Harbour and Settlement=====
+
Besides one complete stave constructed bucket (21.8cm high, 27cm diameter) and one complete tub, 259 individual staves, handle staves and "Daubenpassstuecke" (the final, usually smaller stave, used to complete the vessel) were found. These staves would have been from buckets, barrels, tubs and shallow bowls, though most were open topped as only one stave, of 107 with a complete length, had two grooves for a bottom and a lid and was from a small barrel 54cm high. Most of them were made from imported pine and were probably made form the large (2.5m x 0.8m diam.) barrels (as seen on the Bayeux Tapestry), which were also used to line 29 of the town's wells. Oak (65, 29%) and yew (28, 13%) were also used. The staves varied in length from 8.4-88cm, with most falling between 10-30cm, the width ranging 1.7-19.5cm with most between 3-7cm. The thickness ranges from 4-27mm, with most being between 10-15mm.
+
Most buckets were cylindrical with two handle staves opposite each other with holes in the top to take a rope or iron handle.
+
The bottoms ranged in diameter from 10.8-55.8cm with most ranging from 10-30cm. Most bottoms were constructed from Oak (86, 75%) and were made from 2 or 3 planks dowelled together.
+
63 wooden hoops for fastening around the vessels were found. Most were pine (26, 31%) and yew (23, 27%) but also ash, hazel, willow, alder, fir and maple. Most (41) are semi-circular split branches, but there are also round, oval and square examples. The preserved lengths range from 6.4cm-95.3cm, and the width from 6mm-3.7cm with most between 1-2cm, the thicknesses are between 3-13mm. The ends that overlap eachother had small cuts and then were wrapped with willow bast(3), bark (2) or leather (1). Others (16) were fastened with small nails. [Westphal 2006:p. 37-44]
