Primitive Hand-Hewn Wooden Shoulder Yoke 36" Authentic Rustic Farm Accent

Description: Once used daily to rest on the shoulders to carry two buckets of water, milk or farm produce, this hand-hewn shoulder yoke shows honest wear of decades of labor. Carved from a single piece of wood with a deeply contoured neck support, this yoke has trued rustic - primitive presence.

• Heavy-Use Authenticity – the right end/handle is broken from years of carrying weighted buckets, adding true working-farm character.
• Hand-Hewn construction – shaped from one solid piece of wood with visible tool marks
• Contoured Neck Support – Carved to rest on the back of the neck for long hauls
• Double Bucket Handles – traditional form for attaching bucket ropes or chains
• Primitive Patina – Warm naturally aged surface with dry wood texture from decades of daily use and exposure.
