In the past, cranberries were harvested by hand and often involved the use of handcrafted tools and manual techniques. This large wood board features sifting/drainage lines carved through the wood and a tapered, funnel-like end to channel the berries. The board is well crafted and very sturdy with a beautiful patina. It is able to stand freely on its own and is deep enough, at nearly 5 inches, to hold items for storage or display. One side is flat while the other two have an interior bevel. It could be a creative design element hung on a wall, used as part of a potting bench, as a tabletop or a draining board. It appears to originally be supported by a base or legs. A rare industrial artifact with lots of visual interest and potential uses. See less
