I agree, York Minster is pretty cool. Of course, I only visited once, and briefly. I thought the Roman ruins in the basement were pretty cool also, and the preserved streets of the old city, but the Minster itself is remarkable.

No, you got it, youre just thinking too small.

From the link abv:
"Staves are the vertical, load-bearing timbers in the building. The frame of a stave church wall consists of a sill, staves and a top sill, and these have grooves that receive the wall planks."

Take a closer look at the architectural cutaway above. Note how the wood in the walls runs in a vertical fashion. Its as though a barrel maker heard a call from God...
