  2. Churning

    Share Share Post
    I have a churn at home. It is about two feet hight. It is one foot and a half wide on the top and bottom. The sides are round. It is about a hundred years old. My Great Grandmother made butter in it. It is a dash churn. The vairies parts are the barrel the lid and the dash.
    There is no mark on it. It was made by John Connors he was a cooper and lived on the hill of Graine. The butter is made once a week in Winter and twice in Summer.
