Small Stone Grinding Wheel with Handle 13″ Dia

This reclaimed Small Stone Grinding Wheel with Handle brings rugged heritage and texture to any garden or display setting. Historically, stone grinding wheels were used to sharpen tools and process grains, playing a vital role in rural and industrial life. Crafted from durable Yorkstone, this wheel exemplifies the strength and weather resistance prized in traditional stonework.

Yorkstone is a dense sandstone known for its hardwearing nature and layered structure. Quarried in Yorkshire, it withstands weathering exceptionally well, making it ideal for grinding. This Small Stone Grinding Wheel with Handle shows the effects of decades outdoors. Indeed, the stone surface features rich patches of moss, lichen, and natural discolouration from prolonged exposure to the elements.

Its iron handle and axle, though visibly corroded, remain structurally sound. Moreover, this weathered finish adds an agricultural honesty that connects past and present. Whether positioned upright or laid flat, it draws the eye with its classic form. Measuring 13 inches in diameter and weighing approximately 15kg, the piece is substantial yet easy to reposition when needed.

In a wild garden, this Small Stone Grinding Wheel with Handle introduces a tactile contrast to soft planting. Furthermore, its weight and texture add grounded interest among grasses and flowering plants. In more formal spaces, it brings a historic edge to patios, borders, or water features. The corrosion on the ironwork deepens its visual impact, telling a story of long service and survival.
