Simple wooden buckets bound with wooden materials. Handles can be made of wood, rope or iron. Staves are made from oak, yew, ash or pine. Bindings of yew, ash, pine, hazel, willow, alder, fir and maple. Either as withies or laths. Base plates are constructed from planks doweled together.<br>
Some buckets were made from hollowed out logs. They have a separate base inserted into a notch. Usually bound in withies. Just like stave buckets, they have two extended handle-staves for attaching the handle to.

==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.

Copper-alloy bound buckets are usually of Irish manufacture and a number of them have been found in Norway. Handles can be of either iron or copper-alloy. Instead of a handle some buckets have four iron carrying rings. Some of these buckets are reinforced with thin iron hoops between the brass hoops. <br>
These buckets are classed as ''Restricted'' and may only be used by ''RICH'' characters.

==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.
