    Cranberry Rake
    Box
    Even though much of the commercial cranberry crop is
    harvested by machine, the old-fashioned cranberry rake is
    still used to some extent. This miniature version of the
    cranberry rake is ideal for displaying dried flowers or for
    storing some small odds and ends. A small hole bored through the back enables it to be
    hung on a wall. The tines are made from birch dowel stock, while the remaining parts
    are made from pine.
