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]
