Traditional Cooperage Craft in Historic Workshop

A bearded cooper wearing a knit cap and leather apron works on a wooden barrel using a hammer and hand tools. The rustic stone-and-timber workshop contains stacked lumber, completed barrels, hanging ropes, and a glowing forge where another craftsman works in the background. Daylight enters through open doors and windows, revealing a historic rural settlement outside, while warm wood tones and shadowy interiors create an industrious atmosphere.
