<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 3945319, member: 13308"]I found this in our barn in Schoolcraft, Michigan about 20 years ago. The barn did not survive but the tool has. It measures about 15" long. The half circle cut outs vary from 1 1/2" to 1 3/4". I believe it is some type of hardwood and I can't tell if it had a finish or the coloring is just from handling. It has a hole on each end, maybe or a strap? I would really like to know what this is and how old it is. Our farm was built in 1875 and the property was settled around 1830.[ATTACH=full]323076[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]323076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323077[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]323078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323079[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]323080[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
