Description
A simple and elegant wood pitchfork made from a single piece of pine with two short dowels. One dowel was glued at the apex of the tines to prevent further splitting. The second dowel was placed ten inches up from the tips of the tines to keep the tines separated. The tines were tapered to rounded points.
