About Threshing-Sledge
The threshing board was a flat wooden surface made of a single piece of wood or several boards attached side-by-side. It measured roughly 1.5 by 1 meter (5 by 3 feet). On one surface a number of small holes were carved, and into these holes hard, sharp stones (flint or basalt) or metal pieces were tightly wedged.
