Strange Wooden Thing from Barn

[mojjax]

This has been in our barn forever . It's made out of pine with square nails . It is 6 1/2 inches tall & it rocks . The rockers are curved too much to pull through snow .

Chute for feeding a corn chopper?

My guess... Lap table.

When sitting... held over legs...
Used for working/crafting etc. ? ? ?

I agree with NHBenz. Looks like a homemade chute for a corn sheller or similar.

I agree, it looks homemade out of some wood scraps. My first thought was a grain chute or funnel.

I even thought a wood pack saddle for mule... to load goods.

Beats me on this...
Corn chute it is then. heh

Neat little thing. I'd turn it, flat side down, put a brush on each side, and clean my boots on it.
