Oak barrel suppliers

[Cibb]

What are legit sites to buy oak barrels in the 5 to 8 gallon range?

5 gallon range is ideal for my current needs. I'd prefer french oak if it isn't too much more.

A lot of us here are long time happy users of Vadai Barrels. Hungarian Oak. Same species as French Oak but without the French Oak markup.

Thanks for the info. I sadly found a fraud site as well during my search so I wanted to verify.

Vadai's website is a little 'primitive', but they are legit and a friendly, family business. You need to call and order, IIRC. Their barrels are also sold at MoreWine.
