Mise en rose

Part of the process of the making of the casks for cognac. This is the bit where the metal hoop is placed. I've found several pages, lots of pictures, and i still don't know what to put.
Thanks,

agree Didier Fourcot : Think of it as a rose (flower) of which you are assembling the petals with the metal hoop, then imagine a poetic way to say that in English; details and even videos here: http://www.history.org/foundation/journal/autumn03/cooper.cf...

"mise en rose" or "raising the barrel"

In French with explanation or as this page suggests: "After being inspected and selected, the staves are given to a cooper for assembly. At this essential stage of the manufacturing process, man steps in. The craftsman with irreplaceable experience and, above all, appreciation for work well done now adds his personal touch. The sharp-eyed cooper selects his staves, setting aside those that do not suit him. Then he assembles the staves inside a metal hoop that serves as the assembly jig. This operation, so spectacular in its speed and precision, is what the cooper calls the "mise en rose" or "raising the barrel"."
