VATER Keg 5B Wood

American Hickory: The 5B Keg is made from North American hickory wood. The material is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. Dimensions: The stick has a length of 16 inch / 40.64 cm and a diameter of 0.605 inch / 1.54 cm. This means it corresponds to the stated 5B dimensions. Keg tip: The wood tip is barrel-shaped. This tip shape is the characteristic feature of the 5B Keg and distinguishes it from other 5B variants. Manufacturing: The sticks are computer-controlled turned and precisely sanded. Weight, tone colour and balance are then analysed and matching pairs are put together. Construction: The 5B Keg combines the specified dimensions of a 5B stick with a barrel-shaped wooden head, forming an independent model variant.
