- Wooden dishes were made of ash. They were used long ago for salting and washing it. The men that made them were called coopers. They were in two pieces, and put together with wooden screws. They were sold at fairs for 3/6.
- Wooden buckets were made of ash with iron handles in them. They were used for feeding cattle and horses. They are still to be seen at some places. They were made by coopers and were sold for four shillings each. At that time there were no zinc ones.
