This constant bulge makes it easier to roll a well-built wooden barrel on its side, changing directions with little friction. It also helps to distribute evenly in the material by making the container more spherical." From Wikipedia I could be wrong but I think the barrel's shape also allowed it to be rocked back and forth to make it easier to stand it up. Here are the parts of a barrel: This is an amazing contraption!
