==Thin iron hoods (Optional)==
An alternative to using wooden withies or laths to bind a bucket is to use thin iron hoops. These are usually semicircular in cross-section.

==Wide Iron hoops (Unacceptable)==
No wooden buckets with visible wide iron hoops. Wide metal hoops can be made allowable by being hidden under wooden laths, withies or a copper-alloy strip. Using copper-alloy would restrict the bucket to RICH characters.
