    Share Share Post
    We have a churn at home which has two flat sides and two round sides on it. There is a dash inside in it and it is turned wit a handle outside. There is a lid fastened on the top of it. It is about two feet high and a foot and a half wide. It is a new churn; we have it about two years. It is made of American white deal.
