    Abstract: A dual-species barrel stave, the stave including a first portion that faces the interior direction of a barrel defined by a premium material such as American White Oak and a second portion that faces the exterior direction of a barrel defined by a second material, this second material of a different quality of wood that may not be intended to important aging and/or flavoring characteristics to the liquid within the barrel, is provided. The first stave portion defines a male projection or “tail” that commences at a first longitudinal end of the stave and widens substantially the entire length of the stave, terminating at the opposing longitudinal end of the stave. Cooperatively, the second stave portion defines a female dovetail groove that commences at a first longitudinal end of the stave and extends substantially the entire length of the stave, terminating at the opposing longitudinal end.
