Something more interesting than that, I think. What of the holes? In the top and in the rockers.

Could it be some kind of rocking chair for a child or even some sort of sled? Neat find!

Re: Rockin' Milking stool ?
The holes on the flat part could have been peg holes for legs, which would allow it to be elevated at one end. Sure looks like a chute of some sort when it's turned with the curved sides up. Almost looks like the style of some of the oooooold wheelbarrows. Some type of farm implement, handmade, and old, judging by the square nails. Interesting find! -Noodle

Re: Rockin' Milking stool ?
The first thing that came to mine for me was a OLD PEDAL GRINDING SHARPENING STONE.Maybe
the pedal broke and someone made a foot pedal to use.Just a guess,that is a neat find.
Scroll down to the middle pic on this link and you will see what I am talking about.

Re: Rockin' Milking stool ?
To me, I see no wear on it really, more like age. Id guess it was used inside, maybe grain or something soft. If it was foot operated, id expect wear. It has to be made of wood due to age or function. If such an object was used under stress, it would be metal.Theres no foot or boot prints, no real worn patches. It the curved bits were meant to rock and roll, there should be more wear. Is there a tin strap on one?

I'm guessing a seat for a child's rope swing. The holes in the back appear to have some rounding which could have been caused by rope...

Re: Rockin' Milking stool ?
mojjax, that is one beautiful primitive doohicky. I love it!. You've got full square head nails, wood joinery, powder post beatles
, and some clear straight saw marks you can probably date. I'll bet those two holes were for the rope handle. I think your guess of milking stool was right on!! I've milked a few goats in my day and I sure would have liked somethig that would lay right even if the floor was laying wrong. A rocking stool does that. Fantastic guess!
