Stave (wood) explained

A stave is a narrow length of wood with a slightly bevelled edge to form the sides of barrels, tanks, tubs, vats and pipelines, originally handmade by coopers.^[1] They have been used in the construction of large holding tanks and penstocks at hydro power developments.^[2] They are also used in the construction of certain musical instruments with rounded bodies or backs.^{[3] [4]}
