19TH CENTURY RUSTIC SWEDISH PINE BARREL CIRCA 1850.
FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR A PIECE OF UP CYCLING WITH THIS PIECE OF RUSTIC SWEDISH WOODWORK. LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND USED FOR STORING GRAIN IN, SLIGHTLY TAPERED PINE PLANKS BOUND BY NATURALLY FORMED BRANCHES WHICH HAVE BEEN SHAPED TO ENCASE AND STRENGTHEN THE STRUCTURE, AND AN IRON NAIL FITTED TO THE SIDE.
TRACES OF ORIGINAL BLUE PAINT TO THE OUTSIDE.
PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO BE MADE INTO A HOT TUB/BATH WITH SOME INTERNAL RESIN COATING. NATURAL PATINA HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ON THE OUTSIDE.
EVIDENCE OF DEAD INACTIVE WORM. OLD REPAIRS TO UNDERSIDE OF BASE AND 1 HOLE, WHICH COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONVERT THAT INTO A PLUG. MINOR LOSSES AND EXPECTED FADING.
