Long ago this was an ironing board they would have used and a wash stick next to it . On a hunt lease there are a few old cabins from the late 1800,s according to graves found and history printed in Stewart and Webster county Georgia . This guy goes and pulls out boards for beams in a cabin he is building . Adding a rustic look for his Native American wife .
I actually got a kick out of the thin part . Very good for sleeves and pant legs !
Wayne thought it was a surf board when I showed it to him . Ummmmm yeah !

Those folks were a tough breed..They didn’t whine about anything..Just kept praying and pushing forward..I love the way those old pieces speak to me..

[Tam]

Yes that was my Father . We could never complain ! Eat what’s on or plate .
What do you mean it’s cold !!! Just shut up mostly listen and learn .

[Tam]

Hope you find some Stewart County (or close by) artifacts Tam, yeah I know it's hunting season there but you never know.

Hope you are enjoying your time in GA! The board is nice. I love looking in old homes. We definitely live a different life now and enjoy numerous inventions even our parents didn’t have.

That ironing board is so cool. Is it still prety smooth from use. I have a gasoline iron somewhere if you decide to use the board.

[Tam]

Omg I cannot imagine .

[Fla.Hillbilly]

I have a old coal burning iron.

Cool stuff tam. Love rustic frontier things from the past and story’s that go with em. Looks like ya could mount leather bindings on it and could be a primitive snowshoe. I’d love to have a pair of original’ 1800s Levi’s’ jeans them old boards creased back in the Day— worth thousands $ relic hunters actually hunt for Levi’s’ in old abandoned mines.

If you ever go lot Evergreen Colorado off the main road I 70 ? They have 3500 sq ft antique place . She brings in things from Norway ( giant chest hand carved ) You would flip . Saw ma pair of fur boots for walking in snow up over the knees . Crazy old stuff .

Hope it’s still there .

The Japanese use to buy our old worn out Levi’s on Ebay a couple decades ago . The more worn out the higher the price . $100-$200
maybe back in the 90’s I can’t remember I didn’t do it .
