Given the ambiguity of the term without a clear context, this article will provide a general overview of the term in both the context of barrel-making and botany.

Shive in Barrel-Making[edit | edit source]

In the context of barrel-making, a shive is a type of stopper used to seal the opening of a barrel or keg. This opening, often referred to as the bung hole, is where the container is filled and emptied. Shives can be made from various materials, including wood and synthetic substances. The choice of material can depend on the contents of the barrel or keg, as well as the desired properties of the seal, such as its permeability to air.

Shive in Botany[edit | edit source]

In botany and agriculture, a shive refers to a thin slice or sliver of plant material. This term is most commonly associated with straw or similar materials. Shives in this context can be used for a variety of purposes, including as mulch, in the creation of composite materials, or as a substrate in horticulture.
