Description: | handle, shape, bar
"Many farm tools were made at home from wood, rather than the very expensive iron. Among these tools were shovels and spades. This is a 'barn shiel' or shovel. Originally it was a normally-sized wooden shovel, made in one piece, but was broken and subsequently repaired and re-used as a large shovel or scraper. This shovel illustrates how nothing was allowed to go to waste in an environment where all resources were valuable. It dates from the 19th century and comes from Inverurie, Aberdeenshire."
