I love old farm tools and on a recent visit to the San Juan Islands I got to see a lot of them. I buy the smaller hand tools when I can, clean off the rust, sharpen them and put them back to use.
I picture these men using some of the following tools on their land.
A team from Lopez Island dipping nets.
A scythe and pulleys.
A horse drawn plow from the museum in Lopez Village.
More pulleys
Hay hooks?
More pulleys and a yoke for oxen
A mystery tool!
A scale in use at a local farm stand
I'd love to hear from you!
