In reality, most wooden barrels assume a slightly ovoid bore shape, and turning them on axis changes the characteristics slightly.
Likewise, offset bores have been tried in mouthpieces, notably crystal ones.
Hollow walls (like a thermos) have been tried, as well as S-holes like on a violin, leading to resonance chambers (as can be attested to by woodchips on my workshop floor).
One current retail barrel has fins like a heat sink for a cpu chip.
There is nothing new under the sun.
disclaimer....similar to Omar's above, only different. You know the drill
