Master cooper Marshall Scheetz of Jamestown Cooperage in Virginia, is one of only half a dozen or so remaining coopers in the U.S. with the ability to create and repair all kinds of cooperage using traditional tools.
Marshall continues an ancient skill of cooperage taught by his master James Pettingell who was master cooper at Colonial Williamsburg until 2016. He is a scholar, teacher and expert on cooperage history, and is also able to create a variety of accurate reproductions of period cooperage.
