- In olden times the people strained the milk in wooden strainers which were shaped like the strainers in use now. A round piece of timber was obtained and a hole made in the centre of it. A nice clean cloth was put on it and this strained the milk very well. These wooden vessels were scrubbed with a little heather brush and this kept the vessels very clean.
