Milking Stool
Built from a solid piece of timber, salvaged from one of Manitoba’s many defunct grain elevators Wood Anchor’s “milk stool” is a nod to an agrarian past. The design, however, unlike its many predecessors conveys strength and permanence, while still acknowledging the tenets of the “milk stool.” Use as a stool or side table.
