Old ‘chitting’ trays collected from a farm near our Yoxall, workshop. Chitting is the process of preparing potatoes for planting where they are laid out on a tray and the eyes allowed to sprout before putting in the ground. I wonder how many Sunday dinners and bags of chips started life in these trays. Just cleaned, sanded and stained
 
Restored to their former glory in our workshop/showroom on a farm just outside the village of Yoxall, Staffordshire
 
This crate roughly measures:
 
Diameter 66cm (26”)
Height 42.5cm (16 ¾")
Depth 16cm (6 ¼”)
 
The timber we reclaim, and salvage would mostly be chipped and either burnt or composted we put it to good use with care and love and are hopefully doing our bit to make the world a better place to live in
 
Thank you from the Moulie wood team. Happy chitters!
