  1. Wheel-Making

    Share Share Post
    Wheel making is carried on in a great many places throughout the country. The work is done by carpenters in this locality. The stock of the wheel is made of elm, and the spokes are made of oak. The fellows are made of ash. The wheel is then shod by the local blacksmith at the forge.
