Can anyone tell me what this is??
« on: October 10, 2013, 08:18:41 pm »
Just bought this the description was

It's a Mystery!

- believed to be a tool or implement for creating a seat on a barn beam
- it was found attached to a beam high up inside of an old barn
- it was professionally made


so any opinions??

Thanks
Scott

Now I have seen a lot of barn beams and even dismantled a couple barns to get the beams ...... but I've never heard of a "barn beam sitter" other than maybe a pigeon or an owl and they wouldn't have need of a fancy seat.

Me thinks your table was just stored or hidden there for safe keeping.

I think you might right cogar, the only thing that I wondered about was the long spike in the middle but I guess that could of been stuck in the ground to hold it in place when used like a work bench. Guess not much value here lol only paid $20 bucks though folds up like a lawn chair and doesnt take much space alteast.

anyone else with any opinion on cira or value?
