This miniature wooden water yoke (approx. 6" long) is carefully hand-carved from pine wood and painted in a vibrant blue or red finish. Inspired by the full-size yokes once used to carry two buckets of water across the shoulders, this scaled-down version honours a timeless tradition while showcasing handmade craftsmanship.
Its small size makes it perfect as a decorative keepsake, teaching tool, or meaningful gift. Each piece retains the natural grain and slight imperfections of pine, making every yoke one of a kind.
