Title
Farm Implement - Hay Fork
Description
This hay fork is on loan from Catherine Rude-Sena until further notice. It is a made of wood as many implements were because of fear of sparks from a metal object starting fires. It is currently on display in the main room of the Historical Society building. George Ashley, October 15, 2006, said that fear of fire wasn't as much of a consideration as availability of wood, rather than iron. This particular hay fork he said was a beautiful specimen of ingenuity. It is most likely made of an ash sapling that has been split in three parts to form the fork tynes.
