A dough bowl, or sometimes called a trencher, is a wooden vessel used to mix bread dough. Dating back to colonial times, these bowls were found in every home, and were carved from a large piece of wood. … The family dough bowl was a treasured and vital kitchen tool, and was passed down from mother to daughter.
Antique and rustic dough bowls can be quite expensive. I wanted to use one to display a bunch of small counted cross stitch pin pillows so went in search of something that would work. I did not need it to be an antique. My local Hobby Lobby came to the rescue. I was able to find both a large and a small one on sale. I bought both sizes plus an extra larger one for future use.
Dimensions for the small size:
- Length: 8 1/2″
- Width: 19 3/4″
- Height: 2 1/2″
Dimensions for the large size:
- Length: 11 5/8″
- Width: 22 1/2″
- Height: 2 5/8″
And I still have plenty of room to add more once I get them stitched and finished.
Your dough bowls look good, Pat. I love what you have filled them with.
I have an antique one, but was looking for another one. I went to Hobby House last Thursday for something else. Saw these bowls, so I got a large one. In addition to finding one it was also on sale for 40% off. What a great find.🤗🤗🤗🤗
