500 Nitro makes the most cogent point - you're accepting the risk. To me, the barrels need to be NICE to make this project worthwhile. If they are, with what little you've given us to go on, you could end up right side up in it, as long as no significant unforeseen problems arise. For example, you seem to think that the wood is a go. What if there are hidden problems in the stock head that dictate a re-stock? To have that done correctly can easily cost $3K or more, and there goes your margin.
