Antique Wood Grain Flail. This is a grain harvesting tool known as a ''flail.'' It consists of two solid lengths of wood joined, in this example, by a piece of leather. Chains were also used to join the wood. The harvester would hold the longer stick and beat the grain heads open with the shorter stick. This flail has a long stick of 55'' and the short one of 32''. The short stick is 2'' diameter at the thickest part.
