Notes
BUNG STARTER. Tool was used to hammer in bung or tap in oak barrels. To remove the bung you struck the barrel on either side of the bung and it would pop out. Carpenters made these in their spare time at distilleries, or anywhere else that barrels were used. This one was handmade by Jack Goodwin at Gooderham & Worts Distillery in Toronto, approximately 1930. Donated by: Jack Goforth, Scarborough & Bala, Ontario
