Vintage Baker's Board
I see these pastry boards in stores and catalogs and I'm happy to see that the design is the same as the one in my kitchen. I understand many now are called noodle boards.
The one I have however was made by my Great Grandfather probably close to a century ago.
When something works... it works and I guess that's why the design hasn't changed much in all these years.
My Great Grandfather made mine for my Great Grandmother so she could make bread.
Back then that's just what you did when you needed something... you made it.

Obviously, it is one good idea that keeps on working through the years.
My baker's pastry board sits on display in my kitchen because I don't do much baking anymore but I think of my Great Grandparents every time I use it.

ReplyDeleteI love your bakers board-especially because it was passed down in your family. Much better then West Elm any day!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic that you get to use an heirloom! Who needs to reinvent the wheel?
