It's no secret around here that we love our hunks of wood with old patina -- especially those we find in our "under $10" price range. Here are some of our recent finds.
This is a mold from the old Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
The imprint on the side indicates it was for part of a 20" Feed Roller -- whatever that was -- interesting, none the less!
I found this large bread board behind a bunch of stuff at an antique mall with an $8 price tag. It is made from one wide piece of wood. The smaller board is tapered at the end. Does that indicate it was used to remove something from an oven? I thought it was interesting at $5.
The big masher is hand-carved, and was a $2 estate sale find.
Years ago when junk-hunting, I had a 25-50 cent budget; but have had to up the budget in recent years. See the blue canning jars; while not wood, I love them still. Back in 1969, I bought a huge box of them at a farm auction for 25 cents. I remember the year because our oldest was a baby in a stroller; and that farm was muddy, muddy, muddy! We needed a drive-thru stroller wash afterwards. I've used the jars to store my pasta and rice in ever since - got my money's worth for the effort!
The fun is in the hunt -- you never know what you will find.
