Description

Here, the cow milk is inside the wooden churn and is being prepared to make butter. The person who churns the milk into butter plunges the churning stick in and out of the tube for about half an hour. Then, the butter will be left floating on top of the whey. These wooden churns are still made today in the traditional way.
